Philippe Druillet must be one of the first artists\u2014possibly <em>the<\/em> first\u2014whose work is Lovecraftian at core. Artists had been illustrating Lovecraft&#8217;s stories since their first publication but Druillet&#8217;s work from the late 60s to the mid-70s often seems like a series of reports from Lovecraft&#8217;s imagination. This is most evident in two of the artist&#8217;s graphic novels, <em>Yraga\u00ebl<\/em> (1974) and <em>Urm le Fou<\/em> (1975), which I find to be more convincingly Lovecraftian than much of the imitative fiction being produced at the time.
