ROBERT E. HOWARD'S HYBORIAN AGE UNLEASHED! 

See its true skull-cracking nature, its unrestrained blood-splattering violence, mayhem, and sexuality!
Two she-pirates, one recently dead, and the other less than willing are all that stands between chaos and order.

A god gone mad. A woman possessed. The ultimate showdown between good and evil manifests in an epic battle between Belit, Valeria, and someone that they were calling a friend. The end result of which will lead to the discovery of something beyond the comprehension of even the most powerful wizards in all of Hyperborea…and far, far beyond! 

Full Color, 7x10, 32 pages, $3.99, On sale September 28.

Titan Comics acquires the rights to publish REH properties!

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Titan Comics has nabbed the comics rights to Conan the Barbarian and other creations of fantasy author Robert E. Howard, entering into a co-publishing venture with  Heroic Signature, the intellectual property house that owns the rights.

The deal covers not just comics but graphic novels as well as re-mastered archives, including the omnibus program previously published by Marvel Comics. 

Titan plans to put out a line of original comic books based on Howard’s creations, starting with a new Conan the Barbarian title as an ongoing series set to launch in May 2023 to coincide with Titan Comics’ tenth anniversary. Mini-series based on sword-and-sorcery characters such as Puritan evil vanquisher Solomon Kane, red-haired mercenary Dark Agnes, and Atlantean adventurer Kull the Conqueror are due to follow.

The comics deal between the two companies comes after last year’s book deal regarding Conan for all new novels, short stories and illustrated art books. The first project from that pact is the novel Conan: Blood of the Serpent, due to hit bookstores Oct. 18, followed Conan the Barbarian: The Official Story of the Film, a behind-the-scenes hardback retrospective book due out Nov. 2, 2022.
