H.P. LOVECRAFT’S “THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE” ADAPTED BY GOU TANABE IS THE NEXT TALE OF TERROR COMING FROM DARK HORSE

Prepare for the awakening of something truly terrifying

The works of H.P. Lovecraft explore horrifically inconceivable gods and monsters amongst humanity. Gou Tanabe presents each of these tales in stunningly visceral artistic detail in his multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated manga adaptations. Now, Dark Horse Manga presents H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space by Tanabe, translated into English by Zack Davisson, translator of the two-time Eisner Award-winning Showa: A History of Japan by Shigeru Mizuki, and set to join the growing collection of Tanabe’s popular works in July 2025.

In H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space:

A surveyor examining a site for a new reservoir arrives at the bottom of a desolate valley in rural Massachusetts, a place even the inhabitants of witch-haunted Arkham speak of with fear. The “strange days” of the past in that area are best left alone and forgotten.

Surrounded by tangled and overgrown flora, a five-acre desolate void covered in a fine gray ash sits where a farm once stood. No wind, no life, nothing remains as the visiting surveyor discovers the story of what happened in 1882 from an aged survivor: out of a blue sky, something, a visitor, fell. As scientists gather to analyze the site where this “meteorite” landed, they find an object unlike any known element of the spectrum, which disappears in the lab. The mystery slowly becomes a horror for those who reside near this forsaken farm. The plants, animals, and even the people are twisted by the cosmic light and its unnatural blight that should have stayed hidden and buried.

Beware, what frightens the people of Arkham will surely frighten readers of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour out of Space. The 194-page (5” x 7.25”) paperback volume will be available in bookstores on July 1, 2025, and comic shops on July 2, 2025 for $14.99.
