Around this time last year, a DeviantART user who goes by the handle DrFaustusAU wowed us with his illustrated mashups of Dr. Seuss and “The Call of Cthulhu.” Thanks to a post over on io9, we just discovered that the artist has returned to the H.P. Lovecraft well, this time creating a wonderful adaptation of one of horror master’s earliest stories, “The Tomb.” Is the tale of a dreamy boy who is obsessed with a mausoleum only to end up institutionalized in a “refuge for the demented” as an adult? Probably not. But that’s what makes it so much fun! Click through to preview the first few pages, and then head over to DeviantART to view DrFaustusAU’s epic work in progress — he’s only got five pages left to go.
