Lovecraft's Crusaders and Saracens



Austrian illustrator and fantasy cartographer Robert Altbauer circulated these cartoons of Lovecraftian monsters tangling with Crusaders and Saracens on 20 November 2015 at ArtStation:
This is a series of illustrations that imitates the style of old medieval paintings and adds a macabre flavour by incorporating some of H.P. Lovecraft's famous monsters. The text is mostly medieval Middle High German.

  1. So freaking cool.....the suppressed history of the Cthulhu Crusades!

    And, interestingly enough, by the third panel, we have both Christian crusaders and Saracens banding together. Not, of course, that it will do them any good.....

    Neat post.
