THE CIMMERIAN:
THE FROST-GIANTS DAUGHTER #2
Now available!
(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.

Howard Days 2021 Announcement
The Robert E. Howard Foundation made the following announcement:
We would like to acknowledge those of you who have inquired about Howard Days in Cross Plains 2021.
Originally scheduled for June 11-12, the Robert E. Howard Foundation, Project Pride of Cross Plains and the City of Cross Plains are currently monitoring the Covid-19 health crisis in regards to the timeliness of Howard Days.
Therefore, we are delaying the announcement of the exact date of Howard Days 2021. We expect to make a decision by the end of March.
One possible alternative is that if the June date proves not to be viable we would delay Howard Days until later in the summer or early fall. But we need the time between now and the end of March to make that decision.
To that end, we hope that Roy Thomas will still be available as Guest of Honor. More information on that when it becomes available.
While we most certainly hope this health crisis will be lessened by June, we must be concerned with the health of the residents of Cross Plains as well as the health of all the Howard Days attendees, who literally come from all over the world.
We appreciate your understanding at this time and hope to get back with you, possibly before the end of March. Thank you.

THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOLUME 4
Now available!
(Writer) Roy Thomas, Don Glut (Art) John Buscema, More (Cover) Adi Granov & Earl Norem
Conan returns for another massive Omnibus collection! The barbarian wields his savage sword against a massive winged monster that guards a tower holding a weather-controlling gem – then finds himself surrounded by an army of Picts with their own witch doctor protector! In "The Treasure of Tranicos," Conan matches wits with a band of pirates who'd rather kill one another than share any of the loot – all while the wicked Thoth-Amon stalks them from the shadows. And the four-part epic "Conan the Liberator" sees Conan realize his destiny as he raises an army to overthrow the mad King Numedides!
Collecting SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN (1974) #45-60.
Hardcover, B&W & Full Color, 976 pages, $125.00
