NECRONOMICON follows the story of Henry Said, an Arabic college student in 1920s Arkham, Mass. who is hired by cultists to find the forbidden tome and obtain the dark powers of old. In the course of his adventures, Henry travels the world as he traces the footsteps of the Necronomicon’s writer, Abdul Alhazard, and makes a… dark discovery.
Lovecraft’s works have frightened and inspired generations of fantasy and horror readers, and NECRONOMICON will bring the same horrific adventures fans know and love in the way that only BOOM! can deliver.
« The terror of Lovecraft’s creations comes from their implications – the idea that man is insignificant and small, » said BOOM! Studios Editorr-in-Chief Mark Waid. « These elder gods exist outside our perceptions, and nothing we do matters because we are just a footnote in their texts. I’m excited about NECRONOMICON because William Messner-Loebs understands that tension in Lovecraft’s works, and J.K. Woodward’s covers and Andrew Richie’s art bring that to life. »
With the publication of NECRONOMICON, BOOM! Studios continues to redefine Lovecraft’s vision with today’s top talent, following up on the successes of their fan-favorite ongoing series FALL OF CTHULHU and their best-selling anthology, CTHULHU TALES.
