Good looking comic based on the origin of Crom from Spain: Translation of description thanks to Googletranslate: [NEW EXTENDED AND HARDCOVER VERSION] Fans or not of Conan the Cimmerian, the character created by Robert Ervin Howard a whopping 90 years ago, we have all exclaimed on occasion a jocular For Crom! Seasoned readers of the adventures starring the charismatic northern barbarian know that Crom is the main god of Cimmeria, a dark god who is useless to invoke and who does nothing good or bad for mortals. Howard mentions Crom in several of his stories, but does not offer much information about his origin, which only adds to the mystery of him.
When in 2019, the cartoonist Juanfra MB challenges the scriptwriter Raule to create a daily page in ink as entertainment during the month of October, he immediately picks up the gauntlet and proposes to narrate a hypothetical origin of the god Crom, something that no one is afraid of. had dared yet. Almost two years later, twenty-four new pages and the addition of the author Alejandro Torres to color, the book is now finished.
CROM is a story narrated halfway between comics and illustration, an epic adventure that only pretends to be a simple and sincere tribute to the master R.E.H. and to those heavy metal bands that marked the youth of its three authors.

Interesting. Good art, seems appropriately gritty, but, IMHO, I think Crom is an entity/character that is WAY up on the list of "things I don't want/need a backstory of".
He should remain far off, aloof & inscrutable.

I'd totally read this if it were properly localized in English. Same size, full album, etc.
That golden sword on the cover is just a bit too high fantasy for s&s but the interior pages look dope.
