Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

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.

Thatโ€™s art, and I would pay very good money for a physical original if it existed.

Its the same art of ๅ›ณ่ชฌ้‚ช็ฅžๆตฎไธ–็ตต่‰ๅญ book too.

He's been drawing Cthullu in various art style, has few other ukiyoe/cthullu themed books but seems all soldout.

But my argument is that there is an Edo period Japanese cat army fighting Cthulhu on the beach.

Well then, you're argument is plagiarised. /s

Nice try, Jordan.

Does the text mean anything, or is it just a decoration that looks like kanji?

I can read about half; wouldnโ€™t hurt to have more pixels though. But yeah, on the right describes the scene, and the left is somewhat illegible.
