Comic Review: Black Hammer: Cthu-Louise (Dark Horse)

By Alan Spinney #Black Hammer, #Comic Reviews, #Emi Lenox, #Jeff Lemire

In a surprising one-shot comic story, writer Jeff Lemire and artist Emi Lenox bring us the odd tale of Cthu-Louise.

Cadged freely from the horrific creation by HP Lovecraft, here is the touching tale of Cthu-Louise, daughter of Cthu-Lou, former plumber. Now an alcoholic chain smoker, Lou is a bully, and certainly no role model for his daughter. Cthu-Louise has inherited his octopus-like countenance, much to the amusement of the public school smart-alecks. Cthu-Louise needs support in learning how to live among the ‘normals’, but she ain’t gettin’ any from her folks.

It’s off-beat, it’s tangentially linked to the Black Hammer universe, and it’s touching. Give this one a glance, and see it it reaches out to you with its Cthu-mind!

Dark Horse, Black Hammer: Cthu-Louise (one-shot), $3.99 for 30 pages of content. Assume Teen rating

After a career of graphic design, art direction and copywriting, I still have a passion for words and pictures. I love it when a comic book comes together; the story is tight, and the drawings lead me forward. Art with words... the toughest storytelling technique to get right. Was this comic book worth your money? Let's see!!
