ELVIRA MEETS H.P. LOVECRAFT #1 takes a commendable step in the ongoing series. Avallone skillfully balances the exploration of Lovecrafts complex character while staying true to Elviras adventurous spirit. The artistic prowess, especially in depicting Lovecraftian horrors, adds a layer of visual excellence. The redemption arc for Lovecraft and the clear explanation of the Elder Gods versus the Great Old Ones showcase Avallones deep appreciation for the source material. Read Full Review
Plot
Elvira has an exciting and almost wet dream about a werewolf dressed as Elvis, where she confesses that she has always liked men with hair on their chest 😂, but is interrupted by the ghost of H.P Lovecraft, who asks her for help to stop a cosmic threat.
Howard Philips Lovecraft is the late prolific writer who created the literary genre called "Cosmic Horror", in this comic he asks Elvira for help because she has extensive experience fighting demonic beings.

Given the expectations for, as Elvira put it, a 'Dynamite funnybook,' I'd say that this is looking pretty solid as long as you aren't expecting the next Watchmen or Maus from it.
