H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness Volume 2 (Manga)

Description

Dyer and Danforth from the Miskatonic University research team take their small plane through the unknown Antarctic mountain range–and land to explore the vast, cyclopean alien city that lies beyond it.

Here at last they will discover the hideous secret of all life on Earth…but can they escape these uttermost vaults at the bottom of the world, and keep sanity enough to warn mankind…?

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!“I love H.P. Lovecraft…It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn’t be as good as Gou’s version.”—Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Venus in the Blind Spot)US
