Seeing as Vaarna is doing such a smashing job bringing us assorted grimdark comic adventures, I figured I would post a personal favourite.
The Neonomicon is Alan Moore's four issue miniseries, based on the weird and wonderful works of H.P Lovecraft. I'm sure this will be to your taste, Codex.

Oh gee, shitty airbrush rendering. The most vile and disgusting art there is. Also reading that might cause brain cancer.

:what: The fuck I've read? That was a text-book example of how to completely destroy the Lovecraftian myths...

It's also something Alan Moore wrote years before it was drawn, and what he wrote pretty much for a quick buck to pay his taxes.

Rape and abuse by subhuman monstrosities? I was not aware that Alan Moore was a Japanese name.

According to the wiki of this hilariously disturbing piece of trash, Moore wanted to go in a bit more detail about the evil rituals and unspeakable orgies held by Cthulhu worshippers since old Lovey himself had always been a bit of a prude about it.

I see Moore's point, really - Lovecraft's books had plenty of perversions of this sort, just never spelled out. "Horror at Red Hook" not only features tons of racism against blacks, Chinese and Jews, but also allusions to demonic rape-rooms where hellspawn would impregnate human females, which Moore has apparently given a bit more thought than you would think would be healthy, hence this godawful comic book series.

Or maybe Moore is simply saying "try making a movie out of this one and ruining my original script, fuckfaces, there's nothing LEFT to ruin!"

If my photo-editing skills were good enough I'd make a H.P. Lovecraft facepalm image for this instead.

Is Cleve like a H.P. Lovecraft that replaced hellspawn with machete rape gangs?

:M

*Edit: Also RPGCodex has much better "porn"-centered "adaptations" of Lovecraft's work:

I guess this is what happens when Moore has a hentai marathon with some fuck buddies from the HP Lovecraft club

:mhd:

Nah, it happens when he needs a quick buck to pay his taxes. As far as I know, Moore himself wasn't even involved in the creation of this comic beyond chucking out the first draft in Avatar Press' general direction, two years before the comic got underway.

It kind of feels like Moore only wrote this to annoy Lovecraft, even though Lovecraft is dead.

EDIT: Isn't the serial killer supposed to be a commentary on Lovecraft? With the swastika on his forehead symbolizing his racism

Thank you very much, FFF, that was an interesting twist at the end!

But I found one thing disturbing: why is there a dome over the city?

He likely IS Lovecraft. In one story, IIRC, Lovecraft writes of a necromancer living in a house on top of an (yet another motherfucking) ancient tomb where he conducts unholy experiments seeking the secret of eternal life, eventually managing to replace his aged body with the body of another before finally being confronted and destroyed by the main character.

This comic is not especially Lovecraftian - the reason I like Lovecraft is that he's usually pretty subtle, building up a creey atmosphere of ANCIENT ARCANE HORRORS OH MY FTAGHN FTAGHN without actually showing any baddies, and then suddenly, BAM! Shoggoth in yo face, bitch.

This has prolonged rape sequences with a Deep One and is not especially sinister or creepy - just kind of icky. Lovecraft didn't write in detail about throbbing Elder phalluses for a reason, Moore.
