Xoth! is a 70 pages full color comic set in the world of Howard Philips Lovecrafts "Cthulhu-Mythos".

So far, it only has been printed in German language, but hopefully it will be available in English in the not too distant future. Please feel welcome to download an English information package here with some English excerpts of the comic (put together by Stefan Dinter).

After a three month trip to New York Anna-mara began to write her master‘s thesis in Multi-Media Arts at the Fachhochschule Salzburg on the theme of »The Creation of a fantastic world, based on H.P. Lovecraft‘s Cthulhu Myth«.

The Thesis deals with, amongst others, »background information on the author, the cthulhu myth and the meaning behind the stories, as well as examples of lovecraft-inspired media and a discussion of how these different kinds of work deal with Lovecraft‘s stories«. During the work on the thesis, Anna-Maria started to work on conceptional artwork for a fictional city named XOTH and its inhabitants, inspired by Lovecraft‘s creations.

From this grew the idea for a comic book - XOTH, The unspeakable city.

Oben: Jacop O'Damsel, freiberuflicher Nerd

Oben: Yen-Niggurath, Tochter der schwarzen Ziege mit den 1000 Jungen

Story:

On one of his many uneventful, boring evenings, Jacop O‘Damsel, freelance nerd, drunkenly decides to fall asleep in a back alley. Bad timing, since an intergalactic Dimensional Shambler apears right there and then. And before Jacop gets the faintest chance to even be hung-over, the thing whisks him away. Jacop awakens in XOTH, a strange world full of weird creatures - or are they unutterably blasphemous? Anyway, there are also the »Humanists«, a gang of stinky fisheads worship Humans and need Jacop for a certain - if unspecified - mission. And if that wasn‘t madness enough, Mayor Cthulhu orders his best killers, Nub and Shang to rub Jacop out of existence.

Thanks be to the Old Ones, because Jacop finds Yen Niggurath, a nice goat-girl, who decides to help the hapless human. Together with her, Jacop will get to the bottom of the »Ordus Humanus« affair, since - Cthulhu‘s fat ass! - he‘s in no mood to run for his life forever.

Set against the background of H.P. Lovecraft‘s Cthulhu Myth, Anna-Maria Jung tells a
tall tale full of monsters, nerds, monstrous nerds and nerdy monsters. And the man from
Angell Street is in there, too.
