== Web Comics ==
* The Necronomicon was parodied in the [[Web Comics]] ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' and ''[[Megatokyo]]'' with the Necrowombicon, with Penny's wombat logo on its cover.
* ''[[User Friendly]]'' mentions a Necronomicon in one strip, but it turns out it's just <s>Cthulhu's resume</s> a speaking engagement contract for Cthulhu.
* The [[Web Comic]] ''[[A Miracle of Science]]'' has ''Crank Theories Of Robotics'', one of a number of books which can infect susceptible persons with [[Science-Related Memetic Disorder]], essentially an idea-disease that turns you into a [[Mad Scientist]].
* The plot of the webcomic [http://zebragirl.keenspot.com/ Zebra Girl] starts with one of these.
* ''[[Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' parodied it in [//pbfcomics.com/comics/book-world/ "Book World"] strip.
* Parodied in [http://cookingschoolnews.com/archive_b/PBF130-Book_World.gif this]{{Dead link}} ''[[Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' strip.
* The Book of E-Ville in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', which is hinted to have power and backstory far more significant than its cutesy title suggests.
* ''[[http://tcow.comicgenesis.com/ The Call Ofof Whatever]]'' took a humorous approach to the Necronomicon.
* ''[[Thingpart]]'': [http://www.jsayers.com/thingpart/thingpart117.html "Profound Impact"].
* The Datasphere of ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]''. What else it can do is a little vague (BM looked into it once as RM mentioned "knockers" and apparently the experience was "very soft"), but when Red Mage took a long look at it without interruption, he gained the knowledge of how to destroy anything that could ever exist. {{spoiler|Sarda powered on the four orbs}} apparently ''couldn't'' exist, so what appeared to be a masterful [[Xanatos Gambit]] turned into a [[Batman Gambit]] that nearly ended the world. Only a nine-year-old brick joke saved the world from {{spoiler|Chaos}}.
* Rose from ''[[Homestuck]]'' has the "Grimoire for summoning the [[Eldritch Abomination|zoologically dubious]]".
** She refused to use it as her [[Weapon of Choice]] because it sounded like a bad idea. [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002197 (1)] However, that didn't prevent her from using it in alchemy to make the [[Artifact of Doom|Thorns of Oglogoth]], which she does use as weapons even though no sane person should.
* ''[[Dork Tower]]'' has it in "[[Love is a Parody|lovecraft is…]]" ([http://www.dorktower.com/2006/06/23/comics-archive-799/ lovecraft…sharing is]that which man was not meant to know).
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'' Tomey {{spoiler|Malevolum}}, Fuchsia's gift to Criminy in ''[[Sinfest]]'', can be considered both this and [[Books That Bite]].
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20110926212802/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2217 And Lil' Evil has both the Necronomicon and the Origin of Species.]
* ''[[Devil Bear]]'' has one in the chapter [http://www.thedevilbear.com/comics.php?p=901 Cover to Cover]. Except all it seems to do is advertise itself to the teddy bears and then provide more fancy recipes for killing themselves in embarrassing ways than the [[Anarchist Cookbook]]. Named [http://thedevilbear.com/comics.php?p=910 Mothranomicon] (moths being used as hell beasts for the plushies, of course).
