The Robert E. Howard Guide 
By Patrice Louinet
Now available in the U. S. and U.K.

Presenting the English translation of the award-winning book that introduced a new generation of French fans to the father of sword and sorcery. The Robert E. Howard Guide was born out of years of scholarship, but took its final form after answering the same questions from fans over and over again. In many ways, Howard remains a “famous unknown writer, "the man who single handedly defined modern fantasy, but whose life and works are still known mostly filtered through adaptations, pastiches and gross approximations. Because of those specificities, he is more often than not known for what and who he wasn’t, for sentences he never wrote, or for characters who bear little resemblance—if any—to his original creations. This, in turn, explains how and why this book was conceived. It is sometimes amusing, sometimes sarcastic, but, built on 30 years of Howard scholarship, it is always insightful. A serious work... that tries not to take itself too seriously.

Conan Graphic Novels in German from Splitter Comics

"I was born on a battlefield! The clank of swords and the cries of the massacred were my lullaby."

Conan is back. Wilder. Stronger. More beautiful. Mightier than ever. For decades the barbarian from Cimmerien has been running his bloody craft in comics from the houses Marvel and Dark Horse. But these adaptations of the novels by Robert E. Howard are carved from a different wood: The best scenarists and draftsmen in France have come together to pay tribute to the god of Sword & Sorcery. Legendary stories, edited by greats such as Morvan (»Hercules«) and Alary (»Silas Corey«) and Gabella / Jean (»The Unicorn«). This reveals fresh perspectives on Conan and his dangerous world and the classic works shine in new splendor.

Each volume features a complete story based on an original work by Conan creator Robert E. Howard, and includes extensive bonus material on the creation of the myth Conan and the comic adaptations.
