English translation newsLooks like the Glenat will see release in English. They've been picked up by a new comics publisher - 'Ablaze' (ablazepublishing.com) a new company co-founded by Rich Young who has worked at Dynamite and Dark Horse. Ablaze seems to be focused on repackaging European and Manga comics for the US market, at least for now.
The first issue, The Cimmerian: Queen of the Black Coast #1, will be solicited in the August 2019 Previews catalog and has a release date of October 9, 2019. So it looks like they will be more of an American format rather than simply translations of the original GNs.
I wonder how Marvel (and their lawyers) will respond.

Hmmmm...sounds like Rich is trying his old Dynamite "Lord of the Jungle/Warlord of Mars" strategy. Don't know if just calling it "Cimmerian" will be enough for Marvel/Disney.

Thanks Stubbs. I hope this works out for Ablaze publishing.

This could be interesting.
A trademark is not meant to extend copyright. This is a great workaround.

Maybe this will create pressure on Marvel to repackage them here. Dynamite managed to do it with the Spanish Roy Thomas/Estaban Moroto Ballad of the Red Goddess

It says #1, does this mean they are going to be releasing these as individual issues? Did anyone pick up the Glenat edition and can confirm the page count?
I'm very interested in this, but I would prefer to have the whole story in a trade as opposed to single issues.
