Robert E. Howard Days  

Conan le Cimmérien - La Citadelle écarlate
Now available!

The Scarlet Citadel

The decay of a king. The fall of a kingdom.

Everything starts on a battlefield. Conan, then king of Aquilonia, faces a coalition of traitors led by the wizard Tsotha-Lanthi who, to overcome the rage of the Cimmerian, uses his spells before neutralizing it in the most cowardly way. Captured alive, Conan is taken to the terrible jails of the Scarlet Citadel to suffer a worse fate than death and obtain his abdication, while the wizard's armies march to his capital. Will the horror of the prison and the dreadful magic of the wizard overcome the inflexible resolution of Conan? Will he manage to escape to reach his people in time?

Luc Brunschwig and Étienne Le Roux take up the challenge of adapting one of Conan's darkest news, in which the Cimmerian probably makes the biggest fall in his history: from glorious king, he becomes a pathetic prisoner. A black story, panting, full of diplomatic issues and tensions, where the myth becomes human again.

Language: French
Scriptwriter: Luc Brunschwig
Designer: Etienne Le Roux
Full Color
Size: 240 x 320 mm
