Forgotten until now, the House on the Borderland awaits you. THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND, a 96-page VERTIGO graphic novel by comics legend and illustrator Richard Corben (HELLBLAZER, Heavy Metal, Den) and scripter Simon Revelstroke, is available in a softcover edition for the first time. Their work is based on The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson, a timeless tale initially published in 1908 that tells a story of supernatural paranoia blending science fiction, fantasy and Lovecraftian horror in a potent mix.
