Question reguarding the Dr. Strange comics

[Zsinj]

I was wondering, were the Dr. Strange comics in any way inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu Mythos? Because a lot of the demons, monsters, and supernatural forces in those comics seem like something out of Lovecraft's works.

I haven't heard that Dr. Strange was ever inspired by Lovecraft.

I could see it, but, then again, Lovecraft work was pretty dark, and dealt alot with the madness of man.
