This popular misconception was also the source of common racial epithets directed at black peoples comparing them to monkeys, gorillas, apes, etc. The middle bottle is Bay Rum aftershave.
Presumably for anyone that missed an issue. The clock facing Black is probably a barbershop clock , which has reversed numerals so that the person looking into the mirror can tell the time. The Pequoig is shown on P4,p1 below. It is now a conservation park area. Commenter skeletonpete points out that overall, this barber shop scene draws a contrast between sciences and the occult. Summarizing the excellent comment further: Barbers were once the go to medical dispensers and surgeons. Doctors separated themselves via their own guilds and secret societies.
Photo by Marc N. More carts and horses on the street than cars, further suggesting the rural nature of Athol. The little piles in the street are probably horse droppings. Starrett , founder of the L. Starrett Company in Athol, MA. Again, Moore showing his work establishing the realistic setting. Black looks a bit tired from his bus ride from Salem. On the right is a black cat. See annotations for Neonomicon 1 P17,p4. The dotted speech bubble indicates whispering, which would be appropriate in a public library. Page 5 panel 1 Another flashback.
Keep in mind that this was set after the idea of heredity had been established but before DNA was discovered. When a rise in the road brings the mountains in view above the deep woods, the feeling of strange uneasiness is increased. The summits are too rounded and symmetrical to give a sense of comfort and naturalness, and sometimes the sky silhouettes with especial clearness the queer circles of tall stone pillars with which most of them are crowned. Page 6 panel 1 The Wheatley residence, as depicted on the regular cover of the issue; further identified by the name Wheatley on the mailbox.
The large number of slugs on mail box and below and snails lower-left emphasize the decay of the property. To the left of Black on the porch, the small copper or brass pot is a classical spittoon for disposing of juice and saliva from chewing tobacco.
Page 7 panel 1 The drain pipe from the roof empties into a rain barrel; possibly the only source of fresh water if the Whateleys lack a well or nearby freshwater stream. Pools of blood are visible in front of the doors. It also perhaps resembles the three columns of the tree of life — see P16,p1 thanks commenter bobsy. Compositionally, Moore and Burrows do interesting things with the pitchfork; here it visibly appears to capture Black. Page 8 panel 1 Wheatley is wearing a variety of charms and pins, representing his membership in various organizations.
Most of these appear to be distinctly benign: Commenter Sithoid suggests that what we identified as Elks Lodge pin might be Moose Lodge instead; and that the upside-down star may be a Grand Army of the Republic medal. It can mean having afflicted eyes opposite of cross-eyed. Walleye is also a type of fish, which would refer to the fish-people Innsmouth look. Thanks commenters The Gentleman Mummy and Daniel Thomas panel 3 Garland is in his slippers, which with his housecoat suggests he came directly from the house.
Evidently some blight or distemper, perhaps sprung from the unwholesome pasturage or the diseased fungi and timbers of the filthy barn, caused a heavy mortality amongst the Whateley animals. The coin or medallion bears a Cross Potent. Here, Wheatley suggests that was a polite fiction. Later P10 he walks Black to the wetlands.
Outside the farm gate, bracket fungi P9,p4 and P10 grow on trees, and P10 shows a full forest canopy, fresh water, dragonflies, frogs, turtle, etc. At the same time the planted fields appear singularly few and barren; while the sparsely scattered houses wear a surprisingly uniform aspect of age, squalor, and dilapidation.
Commenter Sithoid points out that Albert Pike …did live in Lovecraftian places Boston MA, Newburyport etc ; but, most importantly, he was a prominent Mason and all but created American masonry reformed their rituals, expanded the Lodge to all of the US, wrote their code etc.
Anselm College in If the experiment was decided on in or , that would correspond when the product — presumably Lovecraft, born in — reached majority at the age of 21 in Interestingly, this roughly corresponds with the nervous breakdown that prevented Lovecraft from graduating high school. See also Providence 3 annotations P12,p2 and P20,p1. The water body pictured is probably the Tully Brook.
Note the lushness of the landscape outside the Wheatley farm, contrasting with the desolation inside see P9,p above. What the contemporary reader sees here is a thriving wetland, though what a person would see is a festering swamp. Wheatley died in , Leticia must have been born before that, making her at least 30 years old in , and probably older. Albinism is a recessive genetic trait, sometimes associated with inbreeding. It may be a slight stretch, but wherever Leticia Wheatley appears, she has some sort of halo behind her head: Possibly this refers to her being a sort of Virgin Mary.
This is perhaps the first clue that Leticia is either not very intelligent or not altogether right in the head. He ran freely about the fields and hills, and accompanied his mother on all her wanderings. Panels form a fixed-camera sequence , which Moore uses frequently, including in Watchmen. Old postcard showing Sentinel Elm in Athol, Mass.
Page 15 This page largely hints that Garland Wheatley was responsible for the impregnation of his daughter in , a view also suggested by some other critics. Page 16 Qabbalah Tree of Life panel 1 This depicts a flashback to the event: Garland Wheatley apparently possessed and mating with his daughter. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate.
Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. On the left is the Sentinel Elm — see P14,p4 above. He was, however, exceedingly ugly despite his appearance of brilliancy; there being something almost goatish or animalistic about his thick lips, large-pored, yellowish skin, coarse crinkly hair, and oddly elongated ears. Black continues to interpret these mentions as referring to his former work at the New York Herald newspaper. If Willard was conceived May Eve , as Wilbur Whateley was, and born nine months later, that would be the correct age for July Lovecraft is the Redeemer experiment of the Stella Sapiente.
While many fans have been speculating that Black will somehow inspire Lovecraft to write his stories, have we got it all wrong?
