A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Did some diving and I was about to lose heart but what looked like a repost was actually the original artist.

The comic posted by artist kore85 on imgur

Their first printed release: Tank Mcgreggor and the Mechanical Menace

Thanks for the detective work.

It's signed with "Kore" or "Kare" at the last page. Could be that, but I can't find anything googling for that.

Ah, fair enough. I didn't look into it, but thankfully another poster did the detective work.
