The Curious Case of the Commissioned Cthulhu, Solved

The lost Cthulhu illustration has been found, thanks to Joshua-Mozes. This amazing faux-pulp cover is the work of artist Martin Schlierkamp.

A very nice rendition of the staff piece, Propnomicon, “So once again Jones, what was briefly yours is now mine. “ I’m glad to see others running with the ball.

“You and I are very much alike. Archeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the pure faith. Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me. To push you out of the light.”

Now I want to read ANOTHER old pulp that never existed.

Uh-oh! That's me! Yes, I was pretty impressed by the organic beauty of this idol, I just had to grab it and run away from the temple, where Propnomicom was jealously hiding it.

Kidding aside, I am happy that Martin's painting finds your approval. It was a fun project and the result is now adorning one of the walls in my living room. And seriously, that idol rocks!

The figure on this cover is real life German Archaeologist Jens Notroff! I know him!
