    1st printing. Collects Bountiful Garden (2021 Mad Cave) #1-5.

    Written by Ivy Noelle Weir. Art and Cover by Kelly Williams.

    In the year 2200, a team of teenage scientists are sent on a terraforming mission to a distant planet. Selected as the best and brightest of their generation, architect Jonas, botanist Marnie, biologist Jane, engineers Anya and Kamari, and security detail Kurt are all put into cryostasis expected to wake up when it is time to prepare to land on their assigned planet.

    When they are awakened abruptly, ten years early, halted above a strange planet, the teens are tasked with trying to figure out why they're stalled - or what stalled them. As they break into two teams, one tasked with fixing the ship, the other with exploring the unknown planet below, they're faced with an increasingly nightmarish scenario as they encounter a cosmic horror that seems to not only have attacked their ship, but also their minds.

    Softcover, 136 pages, full color.

    (see more images)

    Volume 1 - 2nd and later printings.

    Based on the story by H.P. Lovecraft. Adapted by Gou Tanabe.

    January 25, 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica . . . to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby . . . for under its five points is a grave-and what lies beneath is not human!

    At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft's mythos - the deep caverns and even deeper time of the inhospitable continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved - amidst the ruins of its first civilization, built by the alien Elder Things with the help of their bioengineered monstrosities, the shoggoths.

    Since it was first published in Astounding Stories during the classic pulp era, At the Mountains of Madness has influenced both horror and science fiction worldwide!

    o Gou Tanabe's previous H.P. Lovecraft's The Hound was nominated for an 2018 Eisner Award.

But she remained the driving force behind Tom's work and helped obtain and support his live gigs. Then one day she came to Tom with some cruel news: she had pancreatic cancer. Surgery was followed by hospitalization. Nothing to laugh at you'd imagine, but Tom and Ellen continue to bounce humor off each other with Tom running the gauntlet of the doctors' ire to take Ellen out to see the trees and her favorite statue in the park, The Mad Maiden by Rik Wouters, inspired by dancer Isadora Duncan. To her dying day Ellen thought the statue looked mad with joy!
