Statue of Cthulhu sat alongside graphic novel and imagined soundtrack cassette of H. P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains Of Madness. (Both covers depict gelid blue barren wastes with backgrounds of vertiginous peaks replete with cyclopean architecture). Cassette cover art.

A pencil drawing of H. P. Lovecraft with additional white paper beard and red Santa hat. On his shoulder is a sprig of holly that has sprouted tentacles so it looks a bit like The Great Old One , Cthulhu
