I worked on a comic back in 2018 with writer Johnny. It originally was called “How to Open the Gates of Hell,” and we submitted it to the “Cthulhu is Hard to Spell” anthology. It got accepted, but only if we changed the comic to fit the Love-Craftian themes.


It was a quick turn around. Johnny and I, along with our great logo artist  Nathan Burns and amazing letterer Travis Duba, were able to change the comic. Our new version, “How to Summon the Dark Lord Hastur,” was beautiful and got into the anthology.

But there has always been the original draft neither of us were able to share. Both Johnny and I were always sad that all that work never got used. I’m excited to finally share that comic with you all.

This link will take you to the comic. You can either read it as interactive, which means it goes panel by panel, or you can read it classic, with the whole page visible at once. I found the interactive feature really fun, but for the last page I would do classic.
