Also highlighted and previewed were two original graphic novels: "Lovecraft" (based on a screenplay by Hans Rodionoff and adapted by Keith Giffen with art by Enrique Breccia) took the conceit that H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos creatures were real, to paint a highly fictionalized biographic portrait of the titular author, while Howard Chaykin and David Tischman's "Barnum!" (with art by Niko Henrichon) similarly drifted in the realms of fictionalized biography, but did not stray into the horror/supernatural world. The tale of "Barnum: In Secret Service to the USA" saw the celebrated showman saving the life of President Grover Cleveland and (with his circus charges, including original Siamese twins Chang and Eng) matching wits against the "evil" Nikola Tesla. Also previewed as a 2003 release from Vertigo was Brett Lewis and John Paul Leon's "The Winter Men", which ultimately saw its first issue released in September 2005 through WildStorm's "Signature Series" imprint.
