Description
BY CROM! Robert E. Howard's famous Cimmerian UNCENSORED! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! The Cimmerian Vol 2 includes two complete stories, The People of The Black Circle, and The Frost-Giant's Daughter, plus bonus material, including the original prose stories, in one hardcover collection!
In The People of the Black Circle, the king has just died in the kingdom of Vendhya, struck down by the spells of the black prophets of Yimsha. The king's sister, Yasmina, decides to avenge him...and contacts Conan, then chief of the Afghuli tribe. But several of Conan's warriors have just been killed by the men of the kingdom of Vendhya, further complicating the matter. The princess thought she could use the Cimmerian, but rather it is she who will serve his interests... Sylvain Runberg and prodigious designer/illustrator Jae Kwang Park adapt one of the most ambitious and complex Conan stories of Robert E. Howard. An adventure where epic battles, witchcraft and plots mingle in a mystical and scary Orient. Where revenge is an art...
In The Frost-Giant's Daughter, Conan, the only survivor of a ferocious battle, sits in the midst of a bloodstained snow field. When the fight is over, the Cimmerian suddenly finds himself overcome with deep weariness and disgust. Until the moment he meets a redheaded woman of supernatural beauty, blinding like the glow of the sun on the snow. Moved by a burning desire, Conan decides to follow her but finds himself caught in a trap, attacked by two titans. In his ardor, he was not suspicious...he did not imagine for a second that his bride was none other than Ymir's own daughter: the frost-giant! A mythical tale both in both form and substance, The Frost-Giant's Daughter is masterfully adapted by Robin Recht, who manages to capture the essence of this whirlwind tale of violent desire...a true love trap in which the force of will of the Cimmerian is put to the test.

Reviews / Votes
"This is such a fantastic thing to read--to see Conan unchained and asbrutal as he wants is a breath of fresh air." www.PASTRAMINATION.com "The art is fantastic. It's a really good
read."--www.majorspoilers.com "This is the way Conan was meant to be! Howard's barbarian at
his most savage and ruthless. Conan has always been one of my favorite
characters in comics and I've often referred to the Marvel fare as Conan
lite. Ablaze's Conan full and robust. If you've never read the
original stories you may have to take it in small doses. But once you've
gotten used to it by the gods! There isn't anything better."-
www.OUTRIGHTGEEKERY.COM "Look no further if you seek a ripping yarn that is true to the spirit of
the Bard of Cross Plains, Texas--Robert E. Howard!"
