Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Graphic Classics a good book to own and read
This is a very good book to read on a dark stormy night, all kidding aside though I did enjoy it, and found that some of the classics like Poe translate well over to graphic novel format, which was unexpected. It is like finding a treasure after high school forced reading of books that you could not associate with.
Overall five stars, enjoyed it a lot, worth picking up and reading.
Rating: - THE BEST COMIC ADAPTATION YET OF LOVECRAFT'S WORK
The works of H.P. Lovecraft have never had great success when adapted for film, TV, or comics. I think in failing to understand the nature of the source material...Lovecraft's unseen, indescribable brand of terror, film directors and comic writers have always tried to too hard to bring his work into the light, instead of allowing it to fester in the shadows. This is why we've seen so many truly terrible film adaptations of his work.
I'm happy to say that Graphic Classics finally ... Read More
Rating: - A new Way of looking at Classics.
Being a big fan of classic and horror literature I happened across these books quite by accident . I was immediatley struck by the talent of the artists across the board ranging from the comedic interpretations to the serious. These graphic novels are a wonderful way to access Lovecrafts work whether you are a novice or devoted follower. But be warned they are addictive and you will want to colleect the whole series .
Rating: - A 'must' for the legions of Lovecraft fans
H.P. Lovecraft was a reclusive and idiosyncratic New England writer whose horror fantasy stories were to influence generations of authors down to the present day. Now seven of his macabre tales have been illustrated by a series of skilled artists into the newly revised and enlarged second edition of the fourteen volume of the increasingly impressive Graphic Classics series from Eureka Productions. The illustrated stories comprising "Graphic Classics; H.P. Lovecraft" include 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' ... Read More
Rating:  - Good, but with reservations
A good graphic form for Lovecraft, except for the miserable story of Lovecraft's life. I wish they had chosen some of the more powerful Lovecraft, like Dunwich Horror or Call of Cthulhu, instead of the stories they did choose. All in all, a decent comic, but not as good as it could be.
