The Frost/Nixon and Angels & Demons director spoke about his first comic book adaptation in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
"It very cleverly uses H.P. Lovecraft in a fictional way, but there's some loose biographical elements," he said. "But it certainly has the flavour and the tone of Lovecraft. The character is a very young Lovecraft.
"It's challenging, but if we get it right, it could be really original and psychologically interesting and scary in a great way. And it's a graphic novel, this is new territory for me."
Howard's production company Imagine Entertainment acquired the rights to The Strange Adventures of H P Lovecraft, by Mac Carter, Jeff Blitz, Adam Byrne and Tony Salmons, last March.
