Description
Page 8 from The Ceremony by H.P. Lovecraft as adapted by Alberto Breccia from Los Mitos De Cthulu. I've been chasing something from this era of Breccia for some time. I feel like he's the only artist capable of visually capturing the sense of something "not fitting" into our Euclidean universe by dancing so deftly between pitch-perfect realism and genre-busting abstraction. Only the first three panels of this page are original drawings, but xerography is such a huge part of Breccia's toolbox, the photostats (good old fashioned PMT's that will last until the end of time) don't feel like a cheat in any way.

The original is far too huge to fit my scanner (17x22"), so this cleaned up photo will have to do.

Fantastic page from "el Ceremonial", one of my favourite Breccia Cthulhu Mitos. Dark but brilliant!
Congratulations!

It's so good!  This is the type of decompressed storytelling we get today, but Breccia does it with purpose to have the sense of fear and tension build!

And the first panel looks like a painting - treated ink? Really masterful, Breccia's art was and continues to be in its own league.

Also, you get a gold star for perhaps the first use of Euclidian I've seen on CAF :)
