Neonomicon is a four-issue comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Jacen Burrows,[1][2] published by American company Avatar Press in 2010.
After studying the previous investigation of Sax, Lamper and Brears decide to track down drug dealer Johnny Carcosa in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Going undercover as husband and wife, Lamper and Brears attend an orgy hosted by the owners of the shop, members of the Esoteric Order of Dagon, who regularly indulge in sex rituals to attract the sexual attention of a race of fishmen.
Moore talked about the genesis of the project in an interview with Wired magazine: "It was just at the time when I finally parted company with DC Comics over something dreadful that happened around the Watchmen film [...] I had a tax bill coming up, and I needed some money quickly.
"[4] Moore wanted to elaborate on some of the ideas presented in The Courtyard while at the same time telling a modern story that did not rely upon a 1930s atmosphere.
Another idea was to use some of the elements he felt Lovecraft himself and pastiche writers censored or left out of the stories, such as the racism and sexual phobias.
