I've actually read this one already. One of the better adaptations although I don't like Conan's haircut. Also my favorite REH story. The art is great.

I don't like Conan's haircut. I'd like to see you tell him that to his face  |

Funny enough I'm currently working on my review of the Glénat edition.

I don't like Conan's haircut. I'm not fond of it either, but is it like that through the entire story, or just for the cover? |

Overlook that and it's a great adaptation, Not as good as the SSOC one but still it's great to see this story adapted in comic book form for the first time in so many years. I was bummed out that DH didn't adapt this one while they had the rights to Conan. |

OK, I'll definitely be buying it anyway. If the adaptation is great, it shouldn't be difficult to overlook things like a haircut (as strange as that choice is).
Yeah, that's too bad. There are a few I would have liked to see them adapt, especially when Giorello was illustrating.

I have not omitted any of these adaptions, even if the art is unappealing to me in a few of them, I still buy them just to support the cause. |

The Ablaze stuff is pretty cool, but it's adaptions of stories I've read a million times. I find the current Marvel stuff lackluster. I keep buying it because I feel like I'm betraying a friend if I don't by everything Conan related |

I've gotten all the Glénat adaptations and so far only the Scarlet Citadel one was disappointing to me.
As for this one about the only criticism I have of the art is that the colours are rather muted (other than when flames are involved), which may fit the more "northern forest frontier" atmosphere but I can it being a sticking point for some people. It does help the night scenes though.
