Conan/Dragonero Crossover

[Jason Aiken]

Never heard of this Italian character but I'm sure this will be the first of many crossovers, given Conan's public domain status outside the US.

Thanks Jason. Looks cool.

This does look cool. Hopefully we'll get an official translation in the future.

Dragonero is very popular in Italy and the Balkans, it is practically the Italian version of LOTR and Game of Thrones; not too original in the genre of epic fantasy, but there are also some fresh ideas and good episodes in the long going series. Creator of the character is Luca Enoch.

The only edition In English, as far as I know, was published by Dark Horse.

Conan the Barbarian/Dragonero #0 – Shadow of the Dragon will be a full-color, 32-page, 16x21cm paperback comic written by Luca Enoch and Stefano Vietti, creators of the Dragonero series. Lorenzo Nuti will be in charge of the drawing. The zero issue will precede the mini-series written by Enoch and Vieto, which will arrive on Italian newsstands from the spring of 2023. Issue zero will be distributed during the Lucca Comics and Games Festival 2022.

For Michele Masiero, editorial director of Sergio Bonelli Editore, the cross between Dragonero and Conan the Barbarian is “the fulfillment of an exciting editorial project. To the joy of all fans of fantasy, Dragonero, the hero of Bonelli's house, who has become more and more established in recent years, and is also the protagonist of the animated series that is coming to the small screen, meets the quintessential icon of the genre, Conan, a hero who has influenced entire generations with his imaginative adventures .

"After almost a year of development, this project is finally coming to market," says Marco Lupoi, Director of Publishing and Licensing for the Panini Group, which represents the copyright for Conan. "As publishers of Conan in Italy and in the rest of the world for more than two decades, and as long-time partners and friends of Sergio Bonelli Editore, it is a great emotion when we announce this crossover born between Modena, Milan and Los Angeles, and which brings together two icons of fantasy in comics, the legend about the sword and sorcery genre like Conan, and one of the greatest successes of Italian comics of this century, Dragonero.”

Looking at the first pic I assumed Dragonero was the big green dude. But the second pic implies it's the blonde guy? Interesting...

Panini tried to make it a big deal here in México but they fail to make an impresion here but I was told that is a really popular ongoing series on Italy.

Are there any other Bonelli comics in Mexico? Dylan Dog, Martyn Mystery, Tex, Dampyr, Zagor, Julia...?
