Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

ByronOrlock,
I found another interesting link that shows the cover for alot of these older comics you mention:
http://www.yankeeclassic....cs/lovecraft/comics1.htm

This above link shows the issue and breif synopsis for all the "journey into mystery", "creepy", "eerie", "heavy metal", and other adaptations of lovecrafts work. 

For some of the newer stuff, I also found a pretty good list that someone has for lovecraft comics over on amazon:

There was a pretty good comics adaptation of "The Outsider" by a guy named Alec Stevens...
These 1980's Fantagraphics adaptations I'll have to check check out at some point.  "The Outsider" was the first H.P. Lovecraft story I ever read (it's at the beginning of the anthology volume I mentioned above).  It's also probably my favorite.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the Marvel Adaptations, I used to be a Marvel Comics fan growing up (collected mainly Spider-Man comics).  Most of the comics I bought were when the industry was churning out a lot of watered down, tepid, recycled storylines during the early '90's but I was a kid so I wasn't being too critical.  I'm not too familiar with a lot of the anthologies that Marvel had out in the 1970's but did manage to find a few interesting tidbit...

Journey into Mystery:
It looks like Journey into Mystery Vol. 1, 3, 4, and 5 contain Lovecraft based stories (http://www.yankeeclassic..../lovecraft/comics1.htm).

Marvel Premier:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Premiere (lists synopsis of each "Premier" comic):
Marvel Premiere is an American comic book anthology series published by Marvel Comics. It ran for 61 issues from April 1972 to August 1981.

The series was originally intended to be a testing ground for new characters and the re-introduction of characters who no longer had their own titles.

Here's a gallery of Marvel Premier Comics (the Dr. Strange lovecraft influcenced Comics you mention seem to be issues 3-14 I'm guessing): http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/marvel-premiere


As for the last 2 Marvel adaptations mentioned:
The Music of Erich Zann (chamber of Darkness #5 1970) and Pickman's Model (Tower of Shadows #9 1971), look like they were part of a fun line of comics that at least tried to put out new stories month to month as opposed to recycling everything out there to revolve around a certain character.  Just by flipping through the various Chamber of Darkness issues (http://marvel.wikia.com/Chamber_of_Darkness_Vol_1_5) and Tower of Shadows comics (http://marvel.wikia.com/Tower_of_Shadows), it can be seen that at least at one point comics were coming out with new stories on a month to month basis.  Even if they're not the best out there they still were probably fun, which is something missing in more modern comics.

Didn't Rich Corben do "The Rats in the Walls" as a one-shot graphic novel? Again, I'll see if I can track it down through GCD or something. 

*Edit: Couldn't find anything on "Rats" -- maybe I dreamed it! Did find an interesting item: an apparently "All Lovecraft Issue" of the underground SKULL COMICS, issue #4. Adaptations of "Cool Air", "Pickman's Model", and "The Hound".
I googled this online and it turns out you were only 1 off.  Rich Corben did "Rats" in Skull Comics #5 (published by Last Gasp Echo Funnies) 1972. The "YankeeClassic" link I found (and mentioned above in this post) mentions all the Lovecraft inspired stories found in issues 4 and 5.  In this link, it mentions that Richard Corben's Rats was later re-printed in a colored version seen in a number of publications such as Heavy Metal 177 (March 1999).

Which reminds me -- Berni Wrightson did an excellent adaptation of "Cool Air" in EERIE #62. Probably the best HPL comics adaptation I'VE ever read.*
I haven't read CoolAir but found the adaptation you mean.  It can be read online here:
