Issue #1. Published September 2003

  • An interview with Alan Moore about the series.

Alan Moore's The Courtyard was originally scheduled for appearances in this collection but was turned into its own separate series.

Collected editions

The issues were collected into a trade paperback:

Spin-offs

Novel

The pages of the lost novel were left on the seat of a cab as Moore says "Unfortunately, when the texts were about half completed, I left the only copy of three or four of them in a London taxi cab. Since it was impossible to reconstruct, the work went on hold, remaining incomplete." [1] The unpublished novel appears on a number of listings including Yuggoth Cultures (Creation Books, 256 pages, 1997 ISBN 1-871592-31-3).

Nightjar

The Nightjar story was spun off into a four-part mini-series written by Johnston with art by Max Fiumara. The basis was the story as seen in Yuggoth Cultures #1 with some additional notes from Bryan Talbot, but the bulk of the story was created by Johnston.[2] [3]

Yuggoth Creatures

Johnston would later produce more work in the Cthulhu Mythos, for Avatar, under the title Yuggoth Creatures.[4] [5] [6]
