Glenat story is pages 003-048 so more than 32, plus 2 articles: Birth of a Myth (5 pages), QotBC (3 pages) and a 5 pages gallery. And quite nothing to do in graphics compared to the 3 first covers above (4th is the Glenat cover). As this site is often referenced here, you can fid the Glenat version at readcomiconline.to/Comic/Conan-le-Cimmerien-La-Reine-de-la-cote-noire

I'll get these in floppies, why not? I'll take these anyway I can get them. I've bought every Conan floppy (save for the Groo and Wonder Woman crossovers) this is a no-brainer.

This is pleasing news! Would have preferred to have these as hardcover graphic novels instead, but whatever. None of these covers are appealing to me tho.

This is great news. I will definitely be picking this up. I will now be able to read the story in English and still have these beautiful French Hardcover Editions to drool over. Anyone who is sitting on the fence regarding the Glenat HC editions, take the plunge.
I wish Ablaze Publishing all the best with this venture and hope we are able to see many more Glenat adaptions in the near future.

My only question is how , if Marvel have the rights to Conan in the U.S., will this adaption be allowed to be distributed throughout the U.S. ?
I can understand that by calling this The Cimmerian, that it could be published, but throughout the content, as we have clearly seen by these preview pages and already know, the character is named Conan. Is it enough that the title of the story does not refer to Conan, even though the content does, or would the content have to have the name Conan removed from all references as well.
My reason for asking, is that I do not wish to get my hopes up about this translated adaption if legalities prevent it happening before it is able to begin.
I hope it does begin though.
A monthly does of adaptions with a monthly does of the Marvel adventures would do me fine.

It's just the title of the actual comic that's an issue. Hopefully they've done their homework and it'll work out. It's a shame they're not going to be in the same format as the original Glenat books, but also including the original REH text is a great idea.

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 The only thing is those guys are known quantities in the US, especially involving Red Sonja, so there's a substantive market for it. There's certainly a market for the Glenat books, and Ablaze is probably at the right level of a company to release them. All eyes on Marvel now...

I like the way they followed Marvel's example with a Conan yarn at the end of each issue - not pastiche, but the original yarn for each story-arc. If this happens what will they do with the 4th adaptation by Glénat of the Frost-Giant's Daughter? As far as I know it is not in Public domain. Will the Ablaze adaptation featuring Amra from Gods of the North?

I forget what year they're up to as far as being PD in the US. Anything posthumous isn't going to be PD any time soon.

I hope Ablaze can work it out, they may have the negotiated some kinda deal? I'm pretty certain Marvel will not be pleased. Still, it's a pretty bold move.

What I find slightly concerning is that Titan UK could have published the translated versions of these volumes. They decided against it cos they could not sell the books in the USA at the time. Unless Ablaze have come to some kinda agreement with Fredrik Malmberg & Marvel I can't see this happening or lasting too long. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

A monthly does of adaptions with a monthly does of the Marvel adventures would do me fine. A trademark can't extend copyright. Most of the Conan yarns are public domain, so the stories can be adapted. Hell, as long as they stick to the public domain aspects of the character, they could do all new pastiche comics. At least that's my interpretation of the Sherlock Holmes ruling. The Sherlock Holmes ruling was pivotal but nobody had the balls to test the waters until now with Conan. I wish Ablaze luck and will do everything I can to support them.
