Gou Tanabe

Gou Tanabe is a Japanese manga creator, best known for adapting the stories of H. P. Lovecraft into the comic book format. His adaptations have proven so popular that they have been translated into English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Tanabe has noted how Lovecraft's characters "lose all hope and appetite for life. It is this common thread in Lovecraft's stories that particularly struck me."CNews. "L'Appel de Cthulhu : Le mangaka Gou Tanabe nous raconte sa vision de Lovecraft," by Nicolas Cailleaud, September 17, 2020.
