>What A Night!
The end of the world has begun.
The Redeemer has met The Herald.
Now Robert Black finds himself deep
In the heart of a force of pure oblivion...
This is-
Providence #10: Act III, Scene I
And here we go...
Our hero has made it to Providence
Easy one, From Beyond.
His glasses are actually very clever.
Given how every panel with really overt supernatural bent has been staightlined...the shape of his frames do adhere to that scheme.
>Howard Charles
Dexter Ward has made his appearance
>Seventeen
Now that's some fine attention to lore
WE HAUNTER NOW
>Secret Chief
Two possibilitiesEither Lovecaft is a secret asshole, or Nyarlathotep is pulling the strings
The Shining Trapezohedron
Given the last journal entry having some fears about Robert Black being a father...wouldn't it be grand if this was him"concieving" Nyarlathotep's Johnny Carcosa form?
H.P.
>Sweet Ermengarde reference
MOORE YOU SWEET MAN
Cinema purgatory when ?
....I don't think he's really Howard.
>>83376269
After this in a new thread.
Dagon was my first Lovecraft
Hope you can read her words...very enlightening
I don't know what to think.
Is Lovecraft's mannerisms a sign of his being body-hopped Whipple or Winfield?
Or just him being a weirdo.
Well, that's it for the main story this month.
Journals!
He really loved this town
>>83376201
that old maggot couldn't keep himself from shitting more over Lovecraft could he now
Next Month:
Nyarlathotep!
awww sheeeeet

How's grade 9 coming kiddo?
Come to this storytime because you thought it was gonna be "da epic tentacle cthulu dude xD"?

But it isn't.
>>83376431
he's another body-jumper. he refers to her as mother and daughter. he talks oddly because he's the grandfather's mind in the grandson's body.
Also, there's some ugly implications: "after grandfather's death, it was difficult. we were isolated together at our new, smaller house.....and this was of course in my eighteenth year, when my animal preoccupations were at their regrettable pinnacle." Oedipus Rex.
>>83377755
Sorry meant #9.
Still the beginning of the third act.
>>83377966
But he also refers to his aunt as his granddaughter.
Making it seem like a term of endearment on his part given his old school style.
>>83376092
Subtle.
>>83375987
its back
>>83376026
they're everywhere
>>83376092
Even beasts from the outer frequencies can sense the homolust.
>>83376085
>y-you too
>>83376092
good one
>>83377966
>>83378059
Given the dialogue the body-jumping only makes sense if he's sharing his body rather than having it taken over.
>>83381123
Also, if you want to go further, in Neonomicon Johnny Carcosa refers to Lovecraft as being just some guy.
>>83376092
>these two are gonna fug aren't they?
>>83376201
>yep
>>83376201
what a slut
>>83381331
It's funny, given the setting, the object, and what we have been told is the outer-lying context...that one panel reeks more of abhorrent sex ritual than anything with the issues of fish-rape.
>>83381364
Lilly has been dead for months
up
>>83381405
abhorrent is the right word, some how that was more grotesque and shocking than it oght to of been, this is coming from someone whose read more than their fair share of yaoi
>>83384086
I think that an abandoned and decrepit church in front of an arcane totem would make anything weird
>>83376431
Dude. He's the redemptor.
>>83387224
Of course, but the last two issues have called into question...his mind.
>>83387281
I'm talking about Lovecraft.
Maternal Grandfather is a freemasson head, father deals with metals.
>>83387320
Well, yeah.
That's been in the open since #7
bamp
wamo
>>83376268
I forgot what half-assed promised I'd made in a previous thread if Moore sneaked in a SE reference, but holy fuck did he deliver. Based Moore, you magnificent bastard.
>>83392958
Aaand, thanks to the archives, I found it. I quoth:I seriously would get an "Alan Moore knows the score" tattoo and name my firstborn Robin (after toybox from Top 10) if he drops a Sweet Ermengarde reference at some point.
I can live with that. Game's on, Alan Moore.
>>83393147
>>83392958
That's pretty brilliant.
Godspeed.
>>83393147
well thats not so bad
I'm going to read this, but so help me if there isn't any references to swinging or antique erotica...
>>83376232
>"Mr Lovecraft...have you ever...done a bit of cornholing? You're probably too grown up for that sort of stuff."
>two panels later
>"Ooh fuck me! Call me the Mad Arab! Ia Dagon! Tekeli'li! TEKELI'LI!"
>>83394502
he didnt even buy him dinner first
>>83375987
DDL link pls
bump because I'm still reading this. Reminds me of the webcomic Lovecraft is Missing, sadly unfinished due to the author's death.
>>83398968
Reminds me of a more serious version of Giffen's OGN
>>83376085
>Dexter Ward
Pre or post replacement?
>>83399816
Seems to be pre-replacement.
Post-replacement was notoriously bad at fitting in.
>>83399863
Thanks. It's been a while since I read that book.
>>83376431
>>83376386
>>83376295
Having his madness and fear vindicated by learning that what he's always dreaded and feared was real would undermine the tragedy of Lovecraft's character.
Moore's not nearly that nice.
Chances are, he'll have Howard let loose with some of his infamous bigotry, disenchanting and driving away Black, leaving him all alone again with his quiet desperation to die ignonimously.

Definetely pre-replacement, the novella says he went to Moses Brown school but refused to attend college.
>>83376201
Of course.
>>83402024
That actually makes perfect sense.
If Black is meant to be a stand in for Samuel Loveman...who was equally repulsed by Lovecraft's bigoted tendencies.
>>83376682
Whats under the cloth around his mouth?
>>83408001
There's 2 schools of thought on that.
1. Nothing. Like, a void.
2. Tentacles.
>>83408001
like three mouths
Which issue has the backmatter where Robert meats the woman from Neonomicon in his dreams?
>>83408242
The very last issue, #8
>>83408251
Thanks, Dave.
>>83408001
>>83408012
If I remember correctly, it's stated in Neonomicon that the clothes are actually part of his face.
>>83408342
True, but in Coutyard you see a silhouette of his face that might be his own that has the whole tentacle thing going on.
Either one is a handy explanation for his lisp none the less
