THE CIMMERIAN: BEYOND THE BLACK RIVER #1
Writer: Robert E. Howard, Mathieu Gabella 
Art: Anthony Jean
Cover A: Clara Tessier
Cover B: Anthony Jean
Cover C: Breno Tamura
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 Picte country is an obscure jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. Only one thing symbolizes it: the Black River, which it is claimed that no white man was able to cross and come back alive. None, except Conan. In the heart of this green hell, the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young voluntary peasant whom he saves at the last minute from the clutches of fierce Pictish warriors. Together, they will try to lend a hand to the colonists who have established themselves here, on these hostile lands, in the last bastion of civilization. With a dozen men, they will have to find the powerful sorcerer Zogar Sag before he succeeds in uniting the clans and initiating his bloody invasion…

Full Color, 7x10, 32 pages, $3.99, On sale October 6.






THE CIMMERIAN VOLUME 3 
IRON SHADOWS  IN THE MOON & 
THE MAN-EATERS OF ZAMBOULA

Writers: Virginie Augustin and Gess
Art: Virginie Augustin, and Gess 
Cover: Virginie Augustin, and Gess

BY CROM! 
Robert E. Howard's famous Cimmerian UNCENSORED! 
Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! 

In Iron Shadows in the Moon, a young woman in danger is pursued by her vile master. Conan, whose family has just been wiped out by this same master, puts an end to the beauty's pursuer and saves her with a blow of his sword. Bound by fate, the couple decides to hit the road together. Their journey takes them to an island where they discover strange ruins inhabited by dark magic. Their paradise-like refuge soon turns into a suffocating nightmare where shadows lurk. Who knows the extent of the dangers that lie there? They will quickly learn that on an island, the biggest threat does not always come from the outside…

In The Man-Eaters of Zamboula, the Cimmerian finds himself in the land of a thousand and one nights! A crossroads of beliefs, languages, and cultures, the mythical trading city of Zamboula is also the scene of many dark legends. Upon paying the city a visit, Conan is warned of the dangers of Aram Baksh's home. It is said that most of the foreigners who stay there disappear under obscure circumstances…and it is precisely there that the Cimmerian is spending the night. But by lifting the veil on these mysterious cases of kidnappings, the Cimmerian will discover another secret, even more terrible, linked to the whole of the city of Zamboula…

BONUS: Includes the original Robert E Howard prose stories and a complete cover gallery!

Hardcover, 7x10, 168 pages, Full Color, $24.99, On sale November 24.
