If you also say M. C. Escher, then i know for a fact that you are a fan of Berserk ☺️👌

I have the first Berserk Deluxe Edition waiting for Christmas. I'd read enough to know I should go all in and switch to the big books.

But, yes, big Escher fan - I always loved optical illusions as a kid and his work took it to the next level.

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.
