There is also work on Gnosticism called Sons of the Serpent Tribe.<br /><br />Speaking of comics, the occult, and the Droods. I happen to have a copy Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight issue 54, in which the cape crusader battles an undead sorcerer named Osric Drood. It's by Dan Raspler and the great Mike Mignola and it's very Lovecraftian. In fact, it mentions the Elder Ones which may or may not be Lovecrafts Elder Ones (or the Old Ones.) This comic predates Greens books by over a decade, but it is fun to speculate on a relation between Batman's Drood and Green's. And you can make an argument for it being a Lovecraft crossover. (Mignola would later write Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham which is an explicit Mythos Crossover.)<br /><br />Worth mentioning, Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard book has an appearance of Night Gaunts. I heard they are portrayed differently than Lovecraft's, but it's been awhile since I read the book. Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.com
