Super fun! I love that Elvira takes Lovecraft to task on his racist behavior in life. Hilarious!

Yessss! I love Elvira & I love Lovecraft's characters. However, he was a racist POS, and I'm glad Elvira called him on it!!!

This is my first ever Elvira comic and I'm in loveee! Tbh, not a huge fan of H.P. so I was a bit skeptical. But, in typical Elvira fashion she gave him the shit he deserved. Now the unlikely duo has to get the Necronomicon before the crawler of chaos dude does 😳

Seriously. Avallone just gets Elvira. It is like she helps script each new series. These are always the most fun reads and I can’t wait to get deeper into the Lovecraft adventure.

Elvira is sought out by the ghost of H P Lovecraft to help locate the last copy of the Necronomicon. Wise Cracking Elvira at her best. Love these stories.

Elvira hits again

I loved the wit of this read as with Elvira herself always witty and funny.For all fans of her a must read.

[Redsteve · Rating 3 out of 5]

Humorous combination of Lovecraftian horror and classic Elvira, that doesn't shy away from HPL's problematic history ("You're a creepy, racist ghost with terrible manners and I don't trust you ."). The dialogue is funny and Elvira regularly breaks the fourth wall. This feels like a "sequel" (?) to the "Elvira Meets Vincent Price" series, as she makes reference to Mr. Price and apparently has encountered Nyarlathotep's hench-goons before. The creepiness comes across in some of the monster illustrations but genre here is is definitely humor rather than horror. 3.5 stars. This is from the DTF version not Kindle, but couldn't find that edition on Goodreads.

Rarely I see how someone evokes Lovecraft himself.. Amazing.
Whole colab with Elvira is so fun to read page after page ,
Art is great easy on the eye and has enough details.
I read Elvira meets V.Price and tried Imagine character in his voice ..
It was not as good as HP .. Howey was pure gold

Elvira, Lovecraft, and Cthulhu. What more could you want?!

Read my 3 star rating as 3 1/2 stars. Surprisingly good.

[Nicole Geub · Rating 4 out of 5]

Meh, HP Lovecraft is annoying me in this series so far, I'm waiting for the typical Elvira comebacks forthcoming.

[Diana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I saw Elvira and pretty much jumped without thinking that I don’t know much about Lovecraft. I think I’ll have a much better time with the other series.
