At the Mountains of Madness
“At the Mountains of Madness” by Gou Tanabe is a manga adaptation of the novel of the same name by H.P. Lovecraft, one of the most celebrated and terrifying works by the author from Providence. Tanabe, known for his ability to bring Lovecraft’s disturbing and mysterious atmospheres to paper, manages to convey that sense of unease and terror that characterizes the author’s narrative, transforming words into images that seem to emerge from alien nightmares. Adapting Lovecraft into a comic is a risky choice, but Tanabe proves to be fully up to the challenge, offering a visual experience that amplifies the original cosmic horror.
