En Las Montañas De La Locura (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

At first glance I found the Hergé-like illustrations to be a very odd choice for illustrating Lovecraft, but since At The Mountains of Madness is part an Victorian exploration tale, the style sort of fits - it's like an extra tentacled version of a Boy's Own adventure.It's a very quick read, although I have to say the horror element is pretty much cancelled out for me by the style of graphics, although I don't remember being particularly scared reading the original either. This adaptation of a story set in the 1930s just missed the mark. There are a few things that make no sense (how can the lead character read the runes and translate an entire history in a couple of minutes?) that I expect were handled better in prose. The anticipation is built up well, and the art is suited to the style... but the monster just isn't scary, after we've seen some other horrifying scenes. Maybe I should have read the story first. It's difficult to tell in an adaptation whether it's the original or the new version that has flaws... here, it might be a little bit of both.

What do You think about En Las Montañas De La Locura (2010)?

If the text is what I could expect from reading the original stories, I think I'll pass.

Final got around to reading some Lovecraft..... in graphic novel form. Weird.

I don't know. I don't think HP Lovecraft is really my thing.
