Conan le Cimmérien - Les clous rouges
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.

Language: French
Scriptwriter: Régis Hautière
Designer: Olivier Vatine & Didier Cassegrain
Color: Didier Cassegrain
Full Color
Size: 240 x 320 mm
72 pages
Shaping: Hardcover
Price: 14.95 €
