Alan Moore's Neonomicon

Product Information

How Lovecraft conceived the name Necronomicon is not clear—Lovecraft said that the title came to him in a dream. [4] Although some have suggested that Lovecraft was influenced primarily by Robert W. Chambers' collection of short stories The King in Yellow, which centers on a mysterious and disturbing play in book form, Lovecraft is not believed to have read that work until 1927.

Carcossa of volume 10 which having roughly the shape of a human (from one angle) looks like a superposition of every position he was in, and his mouth looks like a butthole. Mrs Massey/Macey is referred to as a "wise woman", an old term for a witch, and mentions residing in "another space nearby", which is actually a different dimension.

Selective Obliviousness: Robert is insistent on trying to ignore the supernatural, rationalising them as psychological episodes. He even manages it retroactively after his body-swap rape, though by this point he is clearly in denial and suppresses his traumatic memories. Ironically his obliviousness is shattered not by seeing something inhuman, but by realising in a conversation with Lovecraft the latter's ties to Stella Sapiente.In a rare, and somewhat inexplicable, non-Lovecraft one, when Johnny Carcosa confronts the police he's dressed exactly like Edward Elric of all people. May have something to do with the fact Lovecraft wrote a story called The Alchemist as a lad. The leg armor on the asylum guards also looks suspiciously similar to the armor plating on Ed's artificial leg.

In addition to this, Whipple Van Buren Philipps, Lovecraft's grandfather and Winfield Scott Lovecraft, his father are members of the Stella Sapiente. Willard looks more human than his brother John-Divine, but he looks middle-aged when he's six years old, and can warp cubes into a tessarect.

Painting the Medium: An Alan Moore staple. Deep One hybrids have an emboldened and jagged speech, while ghouls speak with earthy yellow and brown speech bubbles.

15. Only the End of the World Again

Non-Malicious Monster: King George treats individual humans kindly at times, and sees the ghouls eating dead humans as necessary for his species, and a use of an otherwise wasted resource. Subverted in that he doesn't justify the ghouls clearly gleeful consumption of alive and screaming people.
