    Terrific illos, one and all. Can't wait for his Alan Moore collaboration "The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic."

    Coulthart is a genius. His depiction of R'lyeh is probably the most alienating, bizarre version I've ever seen--therefore, the most true to Lovecraft's vision of the place.

    Art like this, and many thousands of great artists' work as well, might really be humanity's greatest talent and greatest legacy.

    @burlybax: Considering how in The Mountains of Madness, the protagonist gleans all of his information of the ancient Arctic civilization from their art, I find this statement quite appropriate.

    It goes without saying that this work is so way beyond that lousy He-Man hipster shit with the crappy fore-shortening. This takes true skill & vision.

    Stunning. Just stunning.

    He has the minute detail of Dore, and the dark fantasmagoria of H.R. Giger. The latter of whom I thought was the only artist who could get close to the visions of Lovecraft. I stand corrected.

    My Italian grandma would get a kick out of a book titled "Son of Retro Pulp Tales" with an octopus on the cover.

    This reminds me of a store in San Francisco that has two legs sticking out of the windows above the door. That store had great wigs.

    @LittleDragon: Oddly enough I didn't think they looked like tentacles...I thought they looked like dragon tails and couldn't figure out why the building had so many dragon asses sticking out the window. Bad case of (methane) gas or what?
