Cover A by Didier Cassegrain

CIMMERIAN RED NAILS #1

Written by Regis Hautiere
Art by Olivier Vatine & Didier Cassegrain

Robert E. Howard's Conan is brought to life uncensored! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended!

In Red Nails, Conan finds himself in the Darfar region, whose territory is almost entirely covered by a huge forest. Here he pledges himself a mercenary, promising his sword to the highest bidder, fighting alongside fellow mercenary and fierce female warrior Valeria. After a clash against a terrible dragon, the two go to a strange fortified city, apparently deserted... but the duo will quickly discover that a civilization lives hidden inside, and that the citadel hides a heavy secret.

With Diamond effectively sht down, knows when (or even if) this comic will come out.

Black Coast #2 squeaked in under the wire tho.

Diamond shutting down won't effect digital distribution.

I'm really excited for this one. Red Nails is my favorite Conan yarn. I've seen the French version, and it's just lovely.

There are fan translations of a few of the French books out there, but not Red Nails as far as I know...

Did they ever end up dealing with Diamond anyway? I’m guessing after all the legal stuff got sorted out they did, but since I’m doing digital I didn’t pay attention. It’d probably work out ok for them since this isn’t necessarily based around a physical release. It’d be just my luck that I’m finally looking forward to a Conan book again :-)

Yeah, Diamond announced the deal with Ablaze yesterday.

Perfect timing :-( We’ll have to see if anything comes out digitally but it sounds like it’ll end up with everything else, on hold.

That’s what the public wants, new faces...

Man I'm excited about this. Red Nails in Savage Tales was my first big, long Conan story; it remains just about my fave REH story.

Art is more gritty and realistic than Queen of the Black Coast, but still stylized/european. Very cool. Preordered before the world stood still, so I just gotta placate myself with other comics until this gets out in the world in print.

Anybody know how many issues? I'd imagine 2 or 3... Queen of the Black Coast was only two issues.

Just checked my email, notice from local comic shop that Red Nails #1 in print is in the store and available for curbside pickup, so I guess it's out in the wild!

Yeah, can't wait to read this adaptation.

The Red Nails adaptation will be 2 issues.

Guess I'm guilty of spreading false hope... got follow up from comic shop that email notifying comic in store was sent in error.

From email:
"Publishers will resume shipping in late May."
