Conan le Cimmérien - Au-delà de la rivière noire 
Now available!

Screenwriter: Mathieu Gabella
Designer and Colorist: Anthony Jean

The Pictish country is a dark jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. One thing only symbolizes it: the black river, which no white man is supposed to have crossed and come back alive. None, except Conan. It is at the heart of this green hell that the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young peasant volunteer whom he rescues in extremis from the claws of fierce Pictish warriors. Together, they will try to lend a hand to the settlers who settled here on these hostile lands in the last bastion of civilization. With a dozen men, they will have to find the powerful wizard Zogar Sag before he succeeds in uniting the clans and engage his bloody invasion ...

The authors of The Unicorn revive Beyond the Black River , reputed as one of the best stories of Conan. A survivalist and warrior narrative carried away by the relentless pace of Mathieu Gabella's script and the strength of Anthony Jean's stroke.
