Ablaze just announced on Instagram that their next translation would be 'The Frost Giant's Daughter'. The covers look good, especially the wolverine parody cover. I like Ablaze's homage/parody covers.

This is the one that I have been waiting for.
Looks like December/January is going to be good with this, and the King Size Conan coming out.

These Ablaze printings of the Cimmerian stories are really getting into stride now, and I couldn't be happier. I still buy the Glenat editions for this beautiful artwork in the larger format, and I know that some of the artwork is not everyone's 'cup of tea', but the Frost Giant's Daughter was really nicely done. I can't wait to actually read the script in English.
I wonder if by any chance that the now regular releases of the Glenat adaptions through Ablaze, has in any way helped Marvel to lift their game a bit? I'm meaning in regards to the soon to be released King Size Conan, which looks terrific so far from the previews. I hope it has, as I have become a bit tired of Marvel trying to force Conan into the Marvel universe, instead of leaving him in his own era. A bit of healthy competition will only be good for all of us.

Maybe it hasn't had a major effect, but if it did make them reassess things even a little, it's like they say about chicken soup for a cold: It couldn't hoit (aka hurt)!

Dang, I wonder if Ablaze browses our board. This was talked up a good bit on here. I'm really looking forward to reading this.

So Red Nails gets two issues, but Frost Giants Daughter gets three?!? Does each issue cover 3 pages?

After QotBC and Red nails had such fine print and no gallery because the y crammed the stories into 2 issues, they decided that starting with people of the black circle, to go to 3 issues. Or maybe some of the Glenat albums were longer than others.

I think they realized they could make more money selling three issues instead of cramming the material into two issues lol
I've heard the Frost Giant's Daughter is the best adaptation from Glenat, so I hope the guys at Ablaze really do their due diligence and proofread this son of a bitch.

Yes. They really have not been proofreading/ avidly translating their adaptations. You would think that a month is enough to translate a third of the book properly. I'm not complaining though. They really took an initiative despite the license disputes to get these adaptations in English and I'm glad they did that.

Honestly I think Robin Recht spread the story out and there were many splash pages so there's actually more pages than any of the early Glenat adaptations. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it could be the longest adaptation yet (70 pages or something).
But yes, there is potentially less script and more art and so it should not be too hard for them to translate it.
