I'm betting the Groot looking thing is the demon from The Black Stranger since Conan has some piratical looking garb on. That was kind of my guess too based on his outfit as well. Never quite had a clear image of the Black Stranger in my head...but this wasn't what I had in mind  |

 I think the cover of the 2nd volume is by Breogán Álvarez. Here's some of the interior illustrations by Juan Alberto Hernández:    The 2nd volume include the following yarns: Sombras sobre Zamboula (Shadows in Zamboula) Xuthal del Crepúsculo (Xuthal of the Dusk) El diablo de Hierro (The Devil in Iron) El Pueblo del Círculo Negro (The People of the Black Circle) El Extranjero Negro (The Black Stranger) Link: sagacomic.blogspot.com/2019/05/resena-el-diablo-de-hierro.html |

Very nice illustrations all around on the Spanish editions. That's one unique looking KHOSATRAL KHEL, though at the top of the Devil in Iron cover. At least I think it is.

A very interesting Map of the Hyborian Age by Turkish artist Katrin Dirim:  Here's a translation of the description from the Fórum Conan, o Bárbaro Facebook page (thanks to googletranslate) A Hyborian map in the art style of the low middle ages, with the representation emulating the restricted knowledge about the peoples of the time, made by the fantastic Katrin Dirim. She is a Turkish illustrator, specializing in fantastic, historic and mythological pieces inspired by art styles from antiquity and the Middle Ages. She works mainly in publishing RPG table games, and in heraldic art and coat of arms design according to heraldic rules and conventions.
Here's another one by Katrin Dirim with the Queen of the Black Coast and Conan (click on the arrow on the right to get a close-up of the northern lands of the map): ...and another with Conan and Yag-Kosha (click the arrow for a close-up of the southern lands of the map): |

Only issue with the TOTE one is Conan has a Victor Mature/Samson and Delilah issue as noted by Groucho Marx: CB, I don't want the leading man to have bigger boobs than the leading lady. |

Easy prey for my U uurga   Robert E. Howard, El fénix en la espada. Las Crónicas Nemedias Vol.3, Sportula Colección 2021 Robert E. Howard, La Hora del Dragón, Vol.4, Sportula Colección 2021Sportula's ‘The Nemedian Chronicles’ return in 2021 (Thanks to Googletranslate)
By Marcos A. Palacios
After a fateful year for publishing, The Nemedian Chronicles of Conan the Bárbaro return, edited by Sportula, with volumes III and IV announced for next 2021.
The Nemedian Chronicles are back
And they do so under the titles announced today, among other novelties, of The Phoenix on the Sword and The Hour of the Dragon. There is no scheduled date yet, but it will be in 2021. I can't wait to complete my collection, since I have the first two volumes.
After the success of the previous volumes, Sportula continues the edition that will be the definitive one of the collections of stories of Conan the Barbarian written by the late Robert E. Howard.
Full edition
The extras in these editions are the ultimate appeal they offer to Conan fans and die-hard readers, such as maps, appendices, cool facts, author's drafts, unpublished material, a new translation that doesn't detract from the old one at all; also illustrations by Juan Alberto Hernández and neat covers made by Breogán Álvarez.
The Phoenix on the Sword
Sportula tells us that The Phoenix on the Sword is the third volume dedicated to the original stories of Conan, with new translations that go to the original texts, without additions or modifications by later authors, and arranged according to the biography of the character. Each volume is completed with numerous appendices and an extensive introductory essay that aspire to make this the definitive edition in Spanish of Conan's adventures. "
Stories: Pool of the Black One, Red Nails, The Jewels of Gwahlur, Beyond the Black River, The Phoenix in the Sword, The Scarlet Citadel.
The Hour of the Dragon
And finally, the Sportula website comments that Hour of the Dragon is the fourth volume dedicated to Conan's original stories. It includes the only novel that Howard wrote about the barbarian, as well as drafts and synopses of stories that he never finished and unfinished stories.
