Atali's brothers are giant polar bears?

Zut Alours!




I like that art though, Conan's sword looks cool.

Here's a review of The Frost-Giant's Daughter adaptation by NURTHOR (thanks to google translate)

A fiery Conan facing the goddess of the gel (ice/frost?)

Conan in the middle of the battlefield finds herself face to face with a naked red woman with the divine beauty that teases him, after the destruction of the army that he faced and the death of his last adversary the venerable Heimdul chief of the clan of the wolves Vanirs sworn enemies of Aesirs. The blood of the barbarian is just a turn, awakening his passion and ardor. Then pushes him to pursue it in the middle of the snow-covered forests and mountains of ice without being able to catch it. She, Atali the Goddess, has fun and makes it live tests to ensure that it is worthy of his father the giant Ymir.



The designer and the scriptwriter is none other than Robin Recht who realized Elric's fantastic comic triptych at Glénat also. He composed real landscape paintings of the great north named Nordheim in the Hyborean world. He accurately transposes Conan's passions into his beautiful drawings. But it is especially in the scenario that we enjoy. Her play with Atali at the beginning, an almost innocent girl who provokes the barbarian, and then, as the scenario progresses, she seems to become more and more master of herself to be a Goddess or witch as Conan will call her. . Without revealing its final, the classic fall for Robert E. Howard's readers will surprise the novices and make them want to read this news and the others.



A touching preface by Michael Moorcock claiming that Howard would be telling and proud of this comic book depicting his story, lifts the curtain of history. This very beautiful comic book, which is also the fourth volume of the Conan Cimmerian saga of the Glénat editions, puts in images the first news created for Conan that Robert E. Howard wrote. We learn in the exclusive bonus of this first publication that it will live a rather chaotic publication path because refused and then slightly reworked but also paraphrased and finally restored in American and translated to French by Bragelonne Patrice Louinet who reads original texts from Howard. Beautiful digital paintings Robin Recht and one of Mathieu Lauffray in tribute to comics, royally finish this bonus book.

You just have to run to your favorite bookseller this Wednesday, December 12, 2018, date of the official release of this beautiful volume 4 of the saga Conan the Cimmerian!


NURTHOR's conclusion about the Comic Strip: The Frost Giant Girl # 4 [2018]

This winter tale of Conan facing his passion and weakness for this redhead goddess shows a new facet of the Cimmerian who is masterfully staged and drawn by Robin Recht.

Leaving the reader struggling with Conan's inner demons, he will not be able to let go of this comic before the end.

An essential work to own in his library, whether you are a fan of Conan or a simple amateur.

This is one of 250 posters advertising the Glénat Conan series in the Paris Metro system (originally posted by Patrice Louinet on Facebook):




and Patrice's comment:

"250 posters (the large ones!) in the Paris subway for Glénat's "Robert E. Howard's Conan the Cimmerian" series of graphic novels. Over four million people will see this within the next seven days.



And btw, the first 2 GN sold in excess of 18,000 copiies each in their first month and a half. At 15 Euros each and with a population of 60 million people, this would translate on the American market as 250,000 copies *sold* of a comic-book (and of course, these graphic novels are still/always on the market and sell briskly. .)



Did I forget to say that the series was sold to 8 different countries so far (though not the US)?



It's a whole different world here when you are a Robert E. Howard fan, ain't it?"

Hard to imagine any comic or graphic novel being advertised in such a way in the UK. Great stuff from Glénat.
