Potter, John Jude Palencar, and others (illustrator). 1st Edition. Large Folio (30.5 × 39 cm). Full black cloth. Cover decorated with tentacle pattern in blind; gilt titling to cover and spine. Pictorial dustjacket. Black cloth slipcase. Two silk ribbon markers (black and yellow). 400 pp. Colour and black and white illustrations throughout; numerous multi-page fold-outs, including Michael Whelan's Lovecraft Diptych, here approximately four feet wide. Profusely illustrated with over forty artists' work spanning eight decades of Lovecraftian art. Over 20,000 words of original essays. Standard slipcase edition. Published October 2008. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was born in Providence, Rhode Island, published almost exclusively in pulp magazines, never achieved commercial success during his lifetime, and died at forty-six in poverty. His reputation has been assembled entirely posthumously. He is now regarded as the most influential writer of weird fiction of the twentieth century. Particularly, his central creation is that of a mythology of cosmic horror whose central proposition is that the universe is incomprehensibly vast and incomprehensible that to merely gaze upon it would cause irreparable psychic damage to the human mind, leading to madness. The Cthulhu Mythos, a loose constellation of ancient beings, forbidden books, and doomed New England communities that recurs across his fiction, has exerted an influence on horror literature, film, visual art, and popular culture that has lingered for almost a century now. The Lovecraft Retrospective draws on the full range of artistic responses to Lovecraft's work over the previous eight decades; presenting the accumulated visual imagination that Lovecraft's fiction has generated across a century of continuous creative response. The artists assembled here represent the full spectrum of that tradition: Virgil Finlay and Lee Brown Coye from the golden age of pulp illustration; H.R. Giger, whose biomechanical imagery connects the cosmic horror tradition to the mainstream of late twentieth-century visual culture; Ian Miller, John Coulthart, and J.K. Potter, whose intensely detailed graphic work has defined contemporary Lovecraftian illustration; Michael Whelan, Bob Eggleton, and John Jude Palencar from the world of science fiction and fantasy painting; Mike Mignola, whose Hellboy universe owes a clear debt to Lovecraft's mythology; and Gahan Wilson, whose cartoonish yet deeply unsettling approach to the material is entirely its own. For most of the art, Walters worked from either originals or first-generation transparencies, so most of the work is displayed with a brilliance that has never been seen in reproduction before. The framing essays are provided by three figures of exceptional authority. Harlan Ellison (1934-2018) contributed the introduction. Stuart Gordon (1947-2020), the director of Re-Animator (1985) and From Beyond (1986), who did more than any other filmmaker to bring Lovecraft's work to the screen, wrote the preface. Thomas Ligotti (b. 1953), the American horror author widely regarded as the most significant writer in the Lovecraftian tradition since Lovecraft himself, provided the afterword.
