Cthulhu Tales #2

From the horrific to the silly, Cthulhu Tales takes H.P. Lovecraft's style of storytelling - and often many of his familiar icons - and runs with them.

LEVERAGE writer Christine Boylan reveals what the elder gods are up to…in the future! Roger (MUPPETS SHOW, FRED THE CLOWN) Langridge gives you a “sweet” double-page spread!

Jeff Lester pens 'Reunion Tour,' what is probably our favorite Cthulhu Tale to date, a story melding rock and roll, age-old partnerships, unnamable beasts from the dimensions beyond space and time, and flight attendants! Also, William Messner-Loebs returns to Cthulhu Tales with a short story of chilling horror!

Acclaimed writer William Messner-Loebs (JOURNEY) joins the BOOM! family! Don't tell the Elder Gods, or they'll take him from us! Messner-Loebs and Michael Alan (FALL OF CTHULHU) Nelson chill the blood in the new, monthly anthology series! Something big is happening in the BOOM! horror universe in 2008...and it starts here! Heed the call of Cthulhu!

Set sail for DEATH! Well...okay, first, unspeakably mind-bending terror on the cruise ship out of time...and then DEATH! Sorry to give away the surprise ending. Also, a sneak peek at our new companion book, FALL OF CTHULHU: GODWAR by horror scribe Michael Alan Nelson!

The BOOM! Horrorverse spreads its tendrils into Cthulhu Tales in a sequel to the classic Lovecraft tale, "The Colour Out Of Time", which BOOM!'s printer is threatening to charge extra for. Nothing but the best for our faithful BOOM! readers.

Glen Cadigan presents a haunting story of parental love gone very, very wrong in the present, while Brian Augustyn (Batman: Gotham By Gaslight) tells a tale of years gone by - and the British Empire's first contact with Cthulhu's agents of horror in the stunning "Empire Of Ants".

Two stories to blow your mind past the mountains of madness. Matthew McLean's THEATER OF THE EMPTY EYE takes one step for man, one giant leap toward tentacled Elder Gods while Christine Boylan's THE ELITE spotlights a man who tries to right his past.

The Zoo It Must Have Been Something you Ate Face Of The Competition
