Now, French artist François Baranger presents the ultimate illustrated version. The art is just amazing; his vision of the giant sea god Cthulhu is one of the best ever. A testament to the quality is that the hugely respected John Howe (Lord of the Rings) contributes a major essay on HPL and Baranger's interpretation. The complete story text is here, intermingled with full and double-page illustrations. Design Studio, 2019....More.

Serpieri

The two upcoming Serpieri collections, West and Eros, have generated a great deal of advance orders. Unfortunately, the arrival time of these keeps getting pushed forward, and we don't have a definite new date yet. Another publisher just pointed out that shipments from printers in China which used to take 4 weeks, are now taking as much as nine weeks, just from port to port!

 

Tarzan Actor Mike Henry Passes Away

The Burroughs Bibliophiles put together a special Gridley Wave with an informative and well-illustrated look at the career of Mike Henry, who starred as Tarzan in three films in the sixties. Many fans consider him one of the best-ever actors to play Tarzan. Henry also had a fabled football career and went on to more acting after Tarzan. We liked this so much, we got permission to post it on our website. Also here is more information about the Burroughs Bibliophiles and their publications. We'll be handling their upcoming Burroughs Bibliophiles Special Issue as soon as it's ready.
