Actually, it’s a re-work of the cover from British writer Alan Moore’s “Providence” series. That serie’s gotten very good reviews indeed, and fits in to a trilogy of works, which includes Neonomicon and The Courtyard.

The Tintin adventure is of course just imaginative, but the art also represents one of the hundreds, or even thousands, of fake covers done for that series. If you can see the big buttons on the sidebar, and you hit the “Tintin” button, then you’ll get whisked to some prior collections presented here in the past.
If you don’t see the button (maybe because of coming from certain instances?), it simply follows this link: https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels?flair=Tintin
Alan Moore is a frickin genius, arguably the best Anglo-American comic book writer of all time. I haven’t read his Lovecraftian stuff, always meant to.
Also see: !alanmoore@feddit.uk which hasn’t been active in a while tho.
I think maybe I got off on the wrong foot with Moore by trying to dive right in to From Hell.
It was just so dense that I had ‘trouble breathing,’ at times. Not sure if that makes sense, but I’ll be checking out this one…
Yeah I first read “From Hell” as it came out one issue at a time, which gave ya time to digest it. A couple years ago I bought the whole collection and it’s one heck of a book.
You might want to start with “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, it’s more of a fun read (tho still pretty deep towards the end.) But now that I think of it, I read that one bit at a time too, I don’t think I’ve ever tried the whole thing at once!
