Providence Special
from The Comics Fondle Podcast Hosted by Vernon Wiley and Andrew Wickliffe
Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows' horror masterpiece Providence has just begun its final act, so what better time to take an in-depth look back at the journey so far with a Comics Fondle Podcast one-shot? Guest co-host (and occasional Comics Fondle contributor) Matthew Hurwitz of Danger Burger joins to chat for over two hours about Robert Black's oblivious odyssey through the New England of H.P. Lovecraft. Join us as we take into account the many weird tales interwoven through Moore's sprawling homage: The Call of Cthulu, The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Herbert West: Re-Animator, From Beyond, Pickman's Model, The Haunter of the Dark, et all, plus the epic's origins in Moore & Burrows' previous Lovecraft comics from Avatar Press, The Courtyard and Neonomicon. We also consider the stature Providence could occupy in the context of Moore's seminal career and speculate as to how he might surprise his readers with the series' conclusion. Much trivia mentioned in this recording would not have been ascertained without the starry wisdom of Facts in the Case of Alan Moore's Providence, whose meticulous research makes the Stella Sapiente's archival work look like Robert Black's dream journal. Cthulhu fhtagn!
