THE MARVEL ART OF SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN 
Now available!

Written by John Rhett Thomas
Penciled by Various
Cover by Earl Norem

The majestic art of legendary black-and-white magazine THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN is presented in a deluxe hardcover art book worthy of Crom himself!

Following the massive success of Marvel’s color CONAN THE BARBARIAN comic, the Hyborian was given his own B&W magazine to better capture the bone-crushing action of the barbarian’s world. Stripped down to pencil-and-inks essentials, Conan took on a new savagery drawn by masters such as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema and Ernie Chan. 

The series’ fully painted covers featured gorgeous illustrations by Boris Vallejo, Michael Kaluta,Earl Norem and others — while the many pinups and spot illustrations are hidden gems waiting to be rediscovered by Conan fans. With 235 issues inits epic history, there is no shortage of mind-blowing SAVAGE SWORD art —and this deluxe hardcover shares the best of it! 

Hardcover, Full Color & B&W, 224 pages, $50.00




SAVAGE AVENGERS #13 (Featuring Conan)

Gerry Duggan (Writer) • Patch Zircher (Art)

Robert E. Howard: A Closer Look
Now available!

By Charles Hoffman and Marc Cerasini
Paperback, 352 pages, $20.00
Cover art and frontispiece by Rick McCollum. Cover design by Daniel V. Sauer
 
 In 1987, Charles Hoffman and Marc A. Cerasini published a volume on Robert E. Howard for the acclaimed Starmont Reader’s Guides series. Even then, the book was a pioneering study of Howard’s life and work. In the decades that have followed, a great deal of additional research has been done on the life and times of the inventor of Conan, and the authors have now prepared a radically expanded and updated version of their monograph, taking account of these new discoveries.
 
The book is structured along the lines of the superheroes that Howard created as a means of expressing his admiration for the values of barbarian and pioneer life: Bran Mak Morn, the Pictish chieftain who battles the Romans in Britain; Solomon Kane, the 17th-century Puritan who spans the globe in quest of adventure and the righting of wrongs; King Kull of Valusia, a valiant warrior at the dawn of history; and, of course, Conan of Cimmeria, who embodied Howard’s thirst for untrammeled freedom and the virtues of combat.
 
Hoffman and Cerasini also study Howard’s tales of pure horror, including “Pigeons from Hell,” his other fantasy tales, his poetry, and other elements of his work. All in all, Robert E. Howard: A Closer Look is an invaluable guide to the life and literary output of this powerfully original writer whose work has inspired imitations, film and comic book adaptations, and devoted readers around the world.

THE CIMMERIAN: 
THE FROST-GIANTS DAUGHTER #2
Coming in January!

(Writer) Robert E. Howard, Robin Recht (Art) Robin Recht
Cover A: Miguel Mercado
Cover B: Elias Chatzoudis
Cover C: Mathieu Lauffray
Cover D: Fritz Casas

Robert E. Howard's Conan is brought to life UNCENSORED!
Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended!

The enchanting, red-haired beauty of Atali, the frost-giant's daughter, has awoken Conan's lust.  As she repeatedly taunts him, he doggedly chases her for miles across the snow-covered territory, looking to capture her.  Mocking him with each step, Atali attempts to lure the Cimmerian into an ambush.  But she will soon find he is not so easy to be fooled…or conquered. 

A mythical tale both in both form and substance, The Frost-Giant's Daughter is masterfully adapted by Robin Recht, who manages to capture the essence of this whirlwind tale of violent desire...a true love trap in which the force of will of the Cimmerian is put to the test. 

Full Color, 32 pages, $3.99, On sale January 13!
