From adapter and illustrator Gou Tanabe, comes H.P Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. This manga adaptation of some of Lovecraft's best stories is perfect for manga fans and Lovecraft fans alike. With art resembling more of a western comic book, this book lends itself well as a 'gateway' for those who are looking to get into manga! January 25, 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica...to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage--some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. Some are missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby...for under its five points is a grave--and what lies beneath is not human! At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft's mythos--the deep caverns and even deeper time of the inhospitable continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved--amidst the ruins of its first civilization, built by the alien Elder Things with the help of their bioengineered monstrosities, the shoggoths. Since it was first published in Astounding Stories during the classic pulp era, At the Mountains of Madness has influenced both horror and science fiction worldwide!

Mr Tanabe manages to give beautiful visuals to the story without losing both clarity (even when depicting the otherworldly horrors) and that creeping feeling of dread as we follow our protagonists enter deeper and deeper into maddening world of the Elder Ones.
Story in itself is adaptation of the novel - ambitious expedition to Antarctica will soon find itself in great peril as their archaeological and zoological research pushes them more and more towards the mysterious mountain chain deep in Antarctica.
Art is just gorgeous with some of the two-page art that is of poster quality. Author proves that black and white comic art can be very expressive when done by a true master.
Highly recommended to all fans of H.P. Lovecraft's stories and beautiful visual art. ( )
