Two quick points. This is a book of 176 pages and less than 10 pages depict, in most cases non-explicitly, sexual activity. Boy, has that upset and seriously warped the sensibilities of some reviewers here.Second: This is not a work of fiction by H.P. Lovecraft, so to decry that it departs from the Man from Providence's writings is simply bizarre. Moore and Burrows are using the concepts and mythos of Lovecraft, but telling their own unique story. They are not attempting an adaptation of any existing material. You can love it and be chilled by it, as I was, but to critique it because it differs from Lovecraft is absurd, and in my opinion, an unfair judgement.This is a dark and seriously twisted story but I never thought it was in any way exploitative or a cynical cash grab, as some here state.
Neonomicon is a graphic novel. I don’t read many graphic novels –I make up my own pictures in my mind to match the words in non-graphic fiction. But I loved comic books when I was a kid and I am aware and appreciative of what a well crafted graphic novel can do. Like this one., Which is excellent. It’s exceedingly well scripted. (Plot and dialogue in a graphic novel are constrained –constricted may be better- by the limit on pages and the large amount of space taken up in the pictures.) The illustrations are superb, realistic, heavy on line but not ignoring shading and contour, and the coloring, dark but bursting into explosions of color in the more psychedelic interludes, is equally effective. Moore wrote story and dialogue, Burrows illustrated, someone named Juanmar colored the drawings. They all deserve praise.The story is a modernization of Lovecraft’s Chulthu mythos. An FBI agent is staking out a neighborhood where a series of brutal ghastly murders have taken place. The killer had no history of violence and only speaks now in a jumble of alien words. He’s hopelessly psychotic. But there are two other recent mass murders and in both cases, killers with same past record –no history of violence—and the same present behavior. There is no apparent connection among the three. The FBI agent is an expert in anomaly theory. He looks for anomalies and tries to fit them into patterns. The only connection seems to be a mysterious drug called aklo and a possible dealer, a man named Johnny Carcosa who hangs out at the Club Zothique. The band there is the Ulthar Cats. They’re beyond punk or Goth, singing songs that starts in freeform descriptions of violence and swerve part way through a (very long) song into a string of alien names which we know (because we’ve read Lovecraft) but the agent doesn’t are names of entities in the Chulthu myth. No one knows how old Johnny is and he wears a veil over the front of his face, covering it from the bridge of his nose down. The agent digs deeper, finds that a similar string of killings and mutilations occurred in the same place in the 1920s. (Think Lovecraft’s time.) He makes contact with Johnny Carcosa and arranges to buy some aklo. Soon, the agent is locked in a cell. He’s killed several people and he too speaks an alien tongue. A new team of agents is sent in to investigate, man and woman, and the story accelerates in tempo and in horror. It ends in an explosion of color and horrific images, with a dire fate in store for all of us.It’s a good recreation of Lovecraft’s twisted world, with one addition. The sexuality that is hinted at but never allowed to enter Lovecraft’s asexual tales is explicit, in text and drawings, in this disturbing story. It works and it’s not intruded gratuitously but if you’re squeamish about such things, you may want to take a pass on this book.
The Courtyard: When federal agent Aldo Sax goes deep undercover to find a mysterious drug called Aklo, he gets snared in net of Lovecraftian craziness with Johnny Carcosa at the center.Aside from being peppered with racial slurs, I thought this was a pretty good tale. Aldo Sax encounters cosmic horrors and goes off the rails. Moore seeded the text with plenty of Lovecraftian references, like The Shadow over Innsmouth, The Horror at Red Hook, Zothique (actually a Clark Ashton Smith), and Randolph Carter.I like the direction Moore is going with this one.The Neonomicon: After visiting Aldo Sax at the sanitarium, Agents Lamper and Brears pick up where he left off and head to Salem.There was some sick stuff in this, much more extreme than Lovecraft but still true to the spirit of the mythos. I had a feeling things would go the way they did with Brears. This one was definitely not for the squeamish.Moore's take on the Cthulhu mythos in Neonomicon makes me anxious to read his next Lovecraftian offering, Providence.
Writer Alan Moore and artist Jacen Burrows present a harrowing tale inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft. This edition contains "The Courtyard" and also "Neonomicon" so you get the whole story up to this point. There's another volume called "Providence" that hasn't been released yet. In "The Courtyard" and "Neonomicon" Moore and Burrows accentuate the horror by setting it in very prosaic circumstances; a detective investigating a drug called Aklo and in "Neonomicon" a pair of FBI agents picking up the trail of the same investigations. Needless to say that what these seekers of truth discover is far beyond what they expected. HP Lovecraft wrote stories in which Man and his existence with it's aspirations and horrors were utterly irrelevant in the cosmic scheme of things. His stories offered little, if any, hope of redemption or salvation. Lovecraft was not author of happy or even hopeful endings. In "Neonomicon" Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows follow the same themes of pervasive evil, ancient forces of unimaginable horror and doomed seekers of knowledge. If you enjoyed "In The Mouth Of Madness" or "Dagon" then "Neonomicon" is certainly for you. If you like your horror to contain some hope for a better tomorrow or at the very least a chance for a hopeful ending I'd say this comic isn't for you. If like me you're both a fan of Lovecraft and of works inspired by his writings then you'll find "Neonomicon" to be a good read but not exactly mindless escapism either.
