THE WILD ADVENTURES OF CTHULHU Hardcover

This hardcover edition contains these bonuses: illustrated 12-page afterword where Murray reveals the origins of each story and how he was expanding HPL's universe, along with illustrations of each story's original appearance; extra interior artwork; and an entirely different back cover illustration from the softcover without text. Handsome cloth binding. From one of our favorite writers of new adventures of Tarzan, King Kong and Doc Savage, come ten stories based on Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos tales, with field agents of the Cryptic Events Evaluation Section of the formally secret National Reconnaissance Office! These agents struggle to preserve the Earth (a la X-Files) and mankind’s place on it from encroachment by what they deem to be external threats: the great old ones and their malign masters, the outer gods of the abysses beyond time in space. Working under the orders of a mysterious man know only as Director Cranston (whose first name is a classified secret), these brave soldiers fight a war that common humanity does not suspect exists. A war for absolute control of the planet.
