ISBN:: 978-1-5067-1022-8

January 25, 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica . . . to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby . . . for under its five points is a grave--and what lies beneath is not human!

At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft's mythos--the deep caverns and even deeper time of the inhospitable continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved--amidst the ruins of its first civilization, built by the alien Elder Things with the help of their bioengineered monstrosities, the shoggoths.

Review of "H. P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness Volume 1" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Tanabe does more with black and white ink lines than I've seen most do with full color palettes. The pacing is solid, leading up to the climax of the first volume of this adaptation of Lovecraft's tale.
