Hopefully, these comics will get to the comic book shop. The Vampire State Building series will be collected in hardback and ready for the comic shops in April. If they publish the Cimmerian comics for long enough I'm sure the collected hardback editions will follow. I'll pick up all the variant covers for the 1st issue if they do get published.

Great News!Link: icv2.com/articles/news/view/45036/ablaze-gets-green-light-uncensored-conan-comics-series-the-cimmerianABLAZE GETS GREEN LIGHT FOR 'UNCENSORED' CONAN COMICS SERIES 'THE CIMMERIAN'First Title Release Planned, Second Title Launches in April Posted by Milton Griepp on January 28, 2020 @ 5:03 am CT Ablaze Publishing has reached an agreement with Conan Properties International that will allow it to publish U.S. editions of the Glénat bande dessinée series The Cimmerian, ICv2 has learned. The Glenat series adapts Robert E. Howard Conan stories originally published in Weird Tales into comic stories that Ablaze describes as "the true Conan... unrestrained, violent, and sexual... just as Robert E. Howard intended" (see "Ablaze To Publish ‘Uncensored’ Conan Comics").
Distribution of the first title in the series was halted in August after Conan Properties issued a Cease and Desist notice to Diamond Comic Distributors (see "Diamond Stops Taking Orders on ‘The Cimmerian: Queen of Black Coast’"). As a result of the new agreement between Ablaze and Conan Properties, the two issues of The Cimmerian: Queen of the Black Coast will be distributed by Diamond in March, and The Cimmerian: Red Nails will launch in April.
Retailers will be able to adjust orders on The Cimmerian: Queen of the Black Coast #1 and #2, and to show appreciation to retailers for their support, Ablaze will offer its 10-copy incentive covers, originally priced at $3.99, free with purchase as part of the order adjustment process. In addition to the incentive covers, there are four open order covers for each issue.
Diamond will solicit for The Cimmerian: Red Nails #1, the first issue of the second story in the series, for April release.

Good news for them. The deal may be with CPI, but you have to think the unseen hand of a mouse is somewhere in here. After seeing the killer omni numbers every time out and not bad Epic numbers, it's obvious something like this is no threat to them. But they still need to get all legal i's dotted and t's crossed for the NEXT time something like this happens.

The way I see it the yarns are in public domain, you can easily pick up several different versions online, some with spot illustrations. I don't see much of a difference between a book with spot illustrations and an illustrated comic book adaptation of a Conan yarn that's already in the Public Domain.

The issue is probably murky there because a new illustrated version is a new piece of work. I'm not sure, can we get the WT stories reprinted like they do with the Sherlock Holmes Strand stories? I got one of those dirt cheap 20 years ago, so I haven't looked to see if they have the same thing digitally. For now the Dynamite-ERB and Glenat-CPI (and maybe *ahem* others) precedence seems to stress character over story. You may able to print the original story, but doing something new with the original story still has some restrictions.

That's not good news for my 400 page Hour of the Dragon adaptation. In 3 years and I have penciled and inked just over 300 pages all for nothing, I guess I can always get it published Mongolia I'd like to see Cabinet come for me back there - I'll turn that cabinet into a wagon for my Ger. That's if the Cabinet is big enough

Now that CPI has given approval, does that mean that even those few stories, such as Vale of Lost Women, will now also be adapted?

We'll have to see once they're done with the original plan, but that might be on the table. I'd like to see a continental take on God in the Bowl, Black Stranger could be along the same lines as Black River. But Vale...now THAT could be interesting.

Can't wait for the Frost-Giant's adaptation, even better than the BWS and Cary Nord version.

Also, really glad to see these will be printed! I've been bugging my poor local comic shop about them. I think the art for Red Nails is a tad on the goofy side, but I still like it. I see it as a stylized artform.

Sorry, was taking about the Holmes Strand collection, I don’t know if that’s available digitally. So I was wondering if such a digital collection has all the Conan WT stories with the original illustrations and if it’s available in a very cheap form.
