The Return of “Weird Tales” — In Graphic Novel Form

Weird Tales cover by Eric Powell: "Cthulu Rises!" Ominous winged beastie.

If you’ve ever enmeshed yourself in the history of uncanny fiction, you’re probably familiar with the name Weird Tales. This magazine has a special place in the annals of fantasy and horror fiction; now, a new graphic novel features some classic stories from the original magazine adapted into words and pictures.

There’s currently a Kickstarter campaign afoot for the publication; we’re also pleased to present an excerpt from Nancy A. Collins and Marco Finnegan’s adaptation of Allison V. Harding’s story “The Damp Man.” (And if you’re interested in learning more about Allison V. Harding’s legacy, this essay by Cora Buhlert is a great place to start.)
