He returned the favour by killing Bloch off in "The Haunter Of The Dark." <br /><br />HPL only looks like himself in real life in the first panel he apoears in, as he's opening the door.

Now, normally I complain about tight panel layout, but when you use it to show second by second action, it works well.<br /><br />It also helps with an all star line up of writers, artists, and editors.<br /><br />When it opens up (on the shambler panel) it really makes an impact. We know the ending of the story the minute it starts, but the journey is more of a surprise.<br /><br />Very nice. Well written, well paced, well drawn, just a short horror comic.<br />Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
