HP LOVECRAFTS AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNES

I've always liked this book. Fun to see it so well illustrated. Definitely worth it. I have two complaints: the faces are not very well done and their expressions are quite wooden. Also the outlandish milieus are too bland and "mushy"

Ok, you may be in one of a few finite groups. Group A: I have the two volume Tanabe Mountains and want to know if it is worth the puchase. Group B: I love Tanabe's work and want to know if it's worth it. Group C: I'm a Lovecraftian and want to know if this is a good entry point for me for Lovecraft Manga. To all groups: GET THIS NOW!!!!!! This came in to me today and I've read and reread the original pocket size Mountains Manga. Everything is legitimately better. This is NOT a cash grab like some other "deluxe" managas. It is a beautiful homage to both Tanabe and HPL. NICEST things are: * It is WAY bigger than the original Mountains Manga. (For reference, the original were like the size of Chainsaw Man mangas or something similar, regular size in other words. THIS one is the size of the hardback Berserk mangas. It may be like an inch smaller than the Berserk hardbacks but not by much. It is sturdy.) * BOTH volumes of the Tanabe Mountains are here. No two volumes. * Bigger book = Bigger art. It does not look like they went cheap with this and just stretched a scan (which can distort the original and is ANNOYING). No, they took time in making sure there was no distortion and it shows best in the full page spreads. Simply beautiful. * This will probably go out of print FAST so I'd grab it immediately. Hopefully they planned for this and it doesn't happen but if you have even a small interest, get it NOW. I am an unabashed Lovecraftian and Tanabe-ian. This book has warmed my dark, dark heart. I have rarely been so impressed with a deluxe manga. Bravo Dark Horse! Bravo!

Una de las mejores novelas gráficas.

I have never read a Lovecraft story, nor do I have much under my belt in terms of manga. My area of expertise is rather classical Marvel comics etc. but this book was a welcome change of pace. The format of this edition is excellent. A little smaller than an Omnibus but still plenty large and filled to the brim with astounding artwork. I don’t care for the silver accents but can appreciate the aesthetics. The binding is excellent and there is almost no gutter loss. The paper is medium thickness and matte, feeling very adequate. Overall, these Deluxe Editions are worth their money and this story in particular is gripping and interesting with lots of wonderful art. Don’t expect an action filled manga ala Hellsing, though. But rather a short story masterfully told via artwork and speech bubbles.
