Unspeakable Vault (of Doom)

Failed crossovers

2012-05-10T22:35:16+02:00

As cleverly noticed by Bobbie D. - corrector: " there's a lot to be said for the truth of the joke; "The Dunwich Horror" is in many ways a pastiche of Arthur Machen's "The Great God Pan" which deliberately invoked the annunciation of Mary and the immaculate conception in the way Mary conceives a child after seeing Pan."

And also, I was in Barcelona last week-end, where I met all the people
behind the Spanish Translation of the UVoD at the FICOMIC 2012!
Thanks to all for this very nice week-end!

Sleeping, not Dead (yet)

2012-04-29T22:02:28+02:00

A tribute to all my tired fellow players...

A Word from Our Sponsor

2012-04-23T00:16:05+02:00

I always liked to think that the Second law of thermodynamics
was a cruel joke played by some nasty divinity...
but unfortunately, we, humans, don't need any exterior
agent for generating a very nice chaotic state...

Modern Worshipping, Bonus page

2012-04-09T12:33:28+02:00

...and that will end the "geek" serie. Keep in mind these strips are coming straight from the past (2006), a time without tactile devices...

Modern Worshipping, Part VI

2012-04-04T00:06:35+02:00

The Eternal Tomorrow

2012-03-11T19:49:06+01:00

In memoriam: Jean Giraud, aka Moebius, 1938-2012

One of the most innovative and influential comic artist.
The kind of artist that makes you feel shameful about your own work...
He's been a reference and a leader in the fantastic universe, with so many creative break-through and inventions.
Though he was more Sfi-Fi oriented, he paid his tribute to HPL
- with for exemple the famous Metal Hurlant special issue, for which he wrote the fun "Ktulu" story.

Ancient (and New) Tomes

2012-03-02T00:15:57+01:00

Again, a very long strip. Corrections by Boddy D.

The Marianna Abomination

2012-02-26T12:26:45+01:00

Deep Explorer is back - and gone again, with bathroom humor.
Correction by Bobby D. Thanks to all Cultists that offered me
help for correcting the Vault!

The Bottom of the Lake

2012-02-08T00:07:54+01:00

I wanted to make a strip about it for a while, but actuality was faster.

Randolf and Carter in the Dreamlands VIII: "Traumdeutung"

2012-02-01T22:25:42+01:00

The return of Randolf & Carter, along with a very well known Austrian neurologist.
The fact I just saw D.Cronenberg's "Dangerous Method" (worth seeing for Keira Knightley's spankings) might explain something.

Deep Blue

2012-01-27T01:16:44+01:00

More to be read about today's strip and marine life on the Weblog today!

The Black Out

2012-01-19T22:35:44+01:00

The Vault is opened again! and with a full black strip... ok, it comes a bit late, but as possible collateral target, I had to do something to help the general web black out of the last day. If you didn't notice anything at all, you can start here.
Holidays are over for me: I'm back from Philippinas Islands with tanning, mosquito bites, jellyfish stings, some urchin spines in foot, and milions of images in the head (and CF card), and a big smile on the face! I also have tons of late work, so Vault updates might be a bit late.

Season's Comics

2011-12-21T00:48:41+01:00

Here are the mandatory winter strips, a bit in advance...
The reason is I'm taking my annual break, and won't be able to update the Vault before the end of january...
I'll be chasing the Pfeffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish! So enjoy your solstice parties and see you soon!

New Cover

2011-12-10T18:03:58+01:00

Not really a strip today, but the new cover for the upcoming spanish edition of the Vault. Thanks to the will of Andres Palomino, creator the of cronica PSN and formerly unofficial translator of the Vault in spanish, Diabolo ediciones will publish the first volume of the UVod, fully translated, under a brand new cover. Book is currently finalised by Nacho Casanova under supervision of Lorenzo Pascual at Diabolo.

Occult Diagram (Part V)

2011-12-06T22:00:19+01:00

Last one of the "Occult Diagram" serie, a necessary passage for any geeky webcomic. Classical Vault strips will respawn soon!

Occult Diagram (Part IV)

2011-12-06T00:07:03+01:00

Related to this strip, I have to publish this other one, that will amuse only graphists (printers will not find it amusing at all). There are some weird concepts in the graphic world, such as gamuts, linear workflow or pantone coating, that may be seen as black magic by newcomers- and I must confess I'm not a pro of printing...

Occult Diagram (Part III)

Occult Diagram (Part II)

The end

2011-10-12T10:08:40+02:00

Strip designed for the last issue of Cthuloide Welten, the magazine that started many things - my collaboration with Pegasus Spiele for example.
