The Doom That Came to Sarnath, Page 11
Here’s this week’s page of Sarnath! I’m almost two-thirds through the story now. This whole adaptation will end up being 18 pages (counting the double-page spreads as single pages). Over the last two weeks, I considered expanding it even more and making it 20 pages, but I decided against it. Hopefully the pacing is about right.
Also, I recently finished drawing an 8-page adaptation of “The Cats of Ulthar”, which will appear in print somewhere. More details to follow! Thanks for reading, and please check in next week!
What I’m listening to: The Double Shadow: A Clark Ashton Smith Podcast, the Walker in the Wastes campaign podcast at Yog-Sothoth.com, A Podcast to the Curious: A M.R. James Podcast, and of course the new classic-horror episodes of HP Podcraft. All I need now are Ramsey Campbell and Thomas Ligotti podcasts and my literary-horror life will be complete.
Out of curiosity, are you planning to do The Quest of Iranon?
@Brian – I wasn’t planning to, it’s not one of my favorite Dream stories. If I did more dream story comics, my list of preferences would probably be:
(1) Hypnos
(2) Nyarlathotep
(3) The Other Gods (maybe-sorta)
(4) The Terrible Old Man (maybe-sorta)
(5) Ex Oblivione OR What the Moon Brings (maybe-sorta)
And of course…. Azathoth!! Of course, I’d have to completely make up the entire story except for the first three paragraphs, but that just makes it better! ;)
I like the “Beings of Ib” penatas!
I like how the civilization of Sarnath are similar but not exactly like those we know. Interesting mixtures, even to their written languag. It was only much later that Lovecraft found out there really is a Sarnath in India!
