THE CIMMERIAN: 
IRON SHADOWS IN THE MOON #1

Writer: Robert E. Howard, Virginie Augustin

Art: Virginie Augustin 

Cover A: Brian Level

Cover B: Virginie Augustin

Cover C: Kajo Baldisimo

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!

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 decide 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...

Iron Shadows in the Moon reveals the genius of its author in describing universes as singular as they are mysterious. With her line, both delicate and powerful, Virginie Augustin illustrates this oppressive and mystical atmosphere, and gives the story a new graphic breath.

THE CIMMERIAN VOLUME 2 

THE FROST GIANTS DAUGHTER & 

THE PEOPLE OF HE BLACK CIRCLE

Writers: Sylvain Runberg, Robin Recht

Art: Jae Kwang Park, Robin Recht 

Cover: Robin Recht, Jae Kwang Park

BY CROM! 

Robert E. Howard's famous Cimmerian UNCENSORED! 

Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! 

The Cimmerian Vol 2 includes two complete stories, The People of The Black Circle, and The Frost-Giant's Daughter, plus bonus material, including the original prose stories, in one hardcover collection!

In The People of the Black Circle, the king has just died in the kingdom of Vendhya, struck down by the spells of the black prophets of Yimsha. The king's sister, Yasmina, decides to avenge him…and contacts Conan. Sylvain Runberg and prodigious designer/illustrator Jae Kwang Park adapt one of the most ambitious and complex Conan stories of Robert E. Howard. An adventure where epic battles, witchcraft and plots mingle in a mystical and scary Orient. Where revenge is an art…

In The Frost-Giant's Daughter, Conan, the only survivor of a ferocious battle, 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, blinding like the glow of the sun on the snow. 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.

Hardcover, 7x10, 168 pages, Full Color, $24.99, On sale June 2.

Conan le Cimmérien - Le dieu dans le sarcophage 
(The God in the Bowl)
Now available!

Taking advantage of a discretion that only the night can offer, Conan infiltrates a sumptuous palace to steal a cup representing a rapid enrichment. As discreet as a feline, he is only spotted by the guard Arus because he believes he recognizes in him a fellow criminal. Without knowing it, Conan has just presented himself as the ideal culprit for the murder of Kallian Publico, the wealthy and hated owner of the temple in which he came to steal ...

In The God in the Bowl, the work of Robert E. Howard meets that of Agatha Christie for a narrative in the form of an investigation where each actor and spectator of the crime takes turn in control of the narration. An investigation led by masters by the brilliant screenwriter Doug Headline and the designer Emmanuel Civiello.

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.

Robert E. Howard Days

THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN: 
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! 

Featuring stories by Roy Thomas with stunning art by John Buscema, Gil Kane and more!
