Howard Lovecraft & the Frozen Kingdom Page #5

---

Well, we have a kingdom to save,

even if the king isn't home right now.

Careful, Master Howard. Cave dangerous.

Ooh, it smells in here!

What stinks?

Eww.

Ooh, boy!

Eww.

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

La-di-da!

Tekeli-li.

Tekeli-li. Tekeli-li.

Tekeli-Ii.

I found it, Spot!

Tekeli-li.

That was easy.

Now let's get out of here

before the Shoggoth...

Tekeli-li.

Hey!

Hmm.

Who dares disturbs the sleep of Shoggoth?

Tell me before I crush you.

You dare?

Ah!

Tell me who you are.

You want to know who I am?

I am Howard Lovecraft.

Hmm.

Lovecraft?

This name is known to me.

HOW?

You are not the first pale young mortal

of that name to venture here.

Then... My father?

Yes, the other one

looked much the same as you...

And he was every bit as curious.

He sought an audience with the Deep One.

His hunger for knowledge had no equal.

Why else would he journey so deep?

What did you tell him?

I gave to him words.

Words of power.

Words that would break down

the walls between worlds.

Words that would burn up his mind,

if he dwelled on them.

But why?

So the fool Lovecraft could spread

my words out among the stars.

Let the walls between worlds

come tumbling down

and let the slumbering Deep Ones rise.

Since you have found your way here,

he must have succeeded.

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

We, that is, me and Spot,

we just came here to borrow this book.

"Spot"?

Hmm.

Your Spot...

- Does he have wings?

- Yes.

And his face,

covered in tentacles?

Er, yes.

That is Cthulhu!

You are calling him Spot?

He is my friend!

No, he is not your friend.

He is the Sleeper of R'lyeh.

He is the destroyer of worlds.

I have opened the door,

but you woke him up

and have brought him through.

Spot!

You promised him this will work.

Yes.

And you are sure it is this Howard?

Our fate rests in the hands of one child.

The child is not alone.

Thu Thu Hmong...

Or should I say Spot?

Surely you jest.

The Great One will awake from his slumber

and will devour Howard

the first chance he gets.

But for now, the Great One is helping him.

That is the plan.

Centuries have passed in this icy prison.

No one has been able to cross

the barrier between worlds.

Until he came.

Azathoth will be pleased,

if Howard Lovecraft is actually the key.

Howard needs to bring back the balance.

I can feel the balance wants to be brought

back in all of its glory as well.

Our kingdom will be restored

through the crawling chaos,

but the boy

will not live to see it.

Hmm?

Spot!

Master Howard?

Help me!

I gave your father the

key to open the door.

You turned that key

and released the cosmic evil.

The Elder Ones are free,

led by the Great Old One,

Cthulhu!

Your Spot!

Your role in history is complete.

I want to savour this moment,

Howard Lovecraft.

And I shall savour it after I gobble you up

and slowly digest you

over 1,000 years.

Master Howard!

Put him down.

Now!

Thank heavens!

Master Howard!

No!

Spot. no!

You ate my friend!

No. He is no friend.

I have not stopped the Great Old One.

He is too powerful.

When the Sleeper finally does awake,

then Cthulhu will eat you himself.

Cthulhu is the destroyer of worlds!

You're wrong'

Spot is not a monster,

he's my friend.

Enough of this!

I have delayed long enough.

You are no one, Howard Lovecraft.

And you have nothing,

nothing in this world to save you.

Argh! The Elder sign!

No!

Spot!

Spot!

Spot!

Spot! Oh, thank heavens you're all right!

We did it! I can't believe we did it.

You are all right, aren't you?

Yes. All right.

Hmm.

I can feel the warmth already.

- Question, Master Howard.

- What's that, Spot?

I was worried it eat you.

Well, it didn't.

Thank you. You saved me.

Next time, though, we

might not be so lucky.

- "Lucky"?

- Yeah!

I showed this horrible monster

that thing in my pocket,

and he froze in fear.

- Thing?

- This!

Whoa!

What is it, Spot?

- What happened?

- Elder sign.

Here, in R'lyeh, words have power.

Symbols more power.

Elder sign greatest power.

It's just a necklace.

- Where find?

- It was given to me.

Powerful gift.

They care for you.

Wow!

Elder sign is great power.

Careful.

Book also has power.

Make Algid return you home.

You don't think she would just let me go?

Maybe.

Promises in R'lyeh are weak.

What? But you just saved me.

Why did you...

I mean, don't get me wrong,

I'm very glad you did.

We play in snow.

Make men of snow.

We are friends. Friends not eat each other.

Yeah, we're on the same page there.

Unless they get very hungry.

Spot! You told a joke!

Yes. Good one?

Yeah.

Am I dreaming?

Can it really be?

No more suffering, my subjects!

We are finally free!

Oh, this is just the absolute best day!

Let the kingdom of R'lyeh rejoice!

Know how I fooled a Lovecraft

from my true identity.

Let us restore balance.

Let the Sleeper awake

and destroy

Howard Lovecraft!

Spot, what's going on?

Stay close, Master Howard.

I shall take control.

I shall no longer be the plaything of fate!

With this book and this beast

I shall unite all of the realities as one.

What are they?

Master Howard, get away.

Get away from me.

Spot, they're words.

Master Howard, go home.

It's some sort of spell.

You have to fight them.

Master Howard, get away!

Get away from me!

Can't control.

Anger. Run, Master Howard!

I cannot control.

I am changing!

Spot?

What the... Hey!

Spot?

Algid, what did you do to Spot?

We can restore the cosmic good to R'lyeh!

You allowed me to restore the balance.

But it's not cosmic good I'm restoring.

I released the evil long ago.

And they froze everything.

You saw this slumbering destroyer as a pet,

and this magnificent book of knowledge

as nothing but a ticket home.

I have vision beyond this realm that

your simple mind could never hope to grasp.

I am the beast

that haunts your father's dreams.

I am the shadow that shall bring your doom.

I am the poet that warned them.

I am a king.

I am Abdul Alhazred!

When I wake your precious Spot,

when the Sleeper of R'lyeh awakes,

I will control the power of Cthulhu!

I Cthulhu.

Thank you, Howard Lovecraft.

I am not some simple villain hoping to hold

onto a pathetic scrap of frozen earth.

I don't just want a kingdom, Howard,

I want every kingdom.

Across the black sea of infinity

there are monsters.

Witness!

The Ancient One is awake.

The great and powerful Cthulhu is here!

Let your mind go mad.

It makes no difference.

I shall rule all of R'lyeh

or see it shattered before me!

This is our kingdom, too!

Insolence! I

will make you suffer!

Come on, Spot.

Here, Howard.

A Lovecraft knows what to do with this.

There's gotta be something in here.

Get the book!

Attack!

Surround them!

We got him.

I slapped a bad guy.

Yeah, a whole bunch of times.

None of these words make sense!

Get the book!

Huh?

Nope.

Ah! Get the book!

That's my room!

That's my home!

Run, Master Howard.

- Go!

- No!

I'm not leaving any of you!
