Conan le CimmĂ©rien - La Maison aux trois bandits 
(Rogues in the House)
Now available!

Some city-state somewhere between Zamora and Corinthia. In prison, Conan, whom the reputation of a mercenary precedes, is approached by Murilo, an influential aristocrat who wishes to hire the services of the Cimmerian to get rid of his political opponent: the red priest Nabonidus. Managing to escape, Conan then infiltrates the trapped home of his target. But there, he discovers that, behind the power struggle between Nabonidus and Murilo, it may be someone else who is pulling the strings ...

In this new album, Patrice Louinet and Paolo Martinello describe a thief and murderer Conan, bound by fate to two bandits of a very different species. A less epic tale than the warlike adventures of the Cimmerian, offering a closed door in an urban setting which gives us a dark - but no less interesting - vision of the character.

 Ablaze Publishing
THE CIMMERIAN: 
THE FROST-GIANTS DAUGHTER #1
Coming in December!

(Writer) Robert E. Howard, Robin Recht (Art) Robin Recht
Cover A: Peach Momoko
Cover B: Junggeun Yoon
Cover C: Jay Anacleto
Cover D: Robin Recht
Cover E: 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 only survivor of a ferocious battle, Conan sits in the midst of a bloodstained snow field. When the fight is over, the Cimmerian suddenly finds himself overcome with deep weariness and disgust. Until the moment he meets a redheaded woman of supernatural beauty, bonding like the glow of the sun on the snow. Moved by a burning desire, Conan decides to follow her but finds himself caught in a trap, attacked by two titans. In his ardor, he was not suspicious... he did not imagine for a second that his bride was none other than Ymir's own daughter: the frost-giant! 

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. 

As bonus, also includes Robert E. Howard prose story from Weird Tales! 

Full Color, 32 pages, $3.99, On sale December 9!
