She seeks truth — and revenge! Journey into the Hyborian Age with the hero from the classic Conan tale “Red Nails” in a story set before that fan-favorite tale! Before Robert E. Howard’s Valeria became a pirate and mercenary — before she crossed paths with Conan and the Red Brotherhood — Valeria was a young woman from Aquilonia seeking justice for a crime gone unpunished. But as she makes her way in the cruel Hyborian world, proving herself against those who doubt her abilities, she will find more than she bargained for in her thirst for vengeance! Valeria’s deadly fighting skills will be put to the test, and her trust will be shaken, as she hunts her brother’s killer — and comes into her own as a force to be reckoned with!

Conan le Cimmérien - Les clous rouges N&B
Édition spéciale noir & blanc 
Now available!

Red Nails

Conan, mercenary praising his sword to the highest bidder, lands in the Darfar region, whose territory is almost entirely covered by a huge forest. Alongside the fierce warrior Valeria and after a clash against a terrible dragon, the Cimmerian then goes to a strange fortified city, apparently deserted. But the duo will quickly discover that a civilization lives hidden inside, and that the citadel seems to hide a heavy secret ...

The Red Nails is probably, along with Beyond the Black River, one of Conan's most beloved and sophisticated news stories. Howard affirms his style, persisting in his mistrust of modern civilizations, consumed by passivity, laxity and cruelty. Régis Hautière, Olivier Vatine and Didier Cassegrain give substance to this stifling camera in a splendid album in direct colors.
