Ablaze returns with two more thrilling adventures of Robert E.
Howard's famous Cimmerian! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained,
violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! The Cimmerian
Vol 3 includes two complete stories, Iron Shadows in the Moon, and
The Man-Eaters of Zamboula, plus bonus material, including the
original prose stories, in one hardcover collection! In Iron
Shadows in the Moon, a young woman in danger is pursued by her vile
master. Conan, whose family has just been wiped out by this same
master, puts an end to the beauty's pursuer, and saves her with a
blow of his sword. Bound by fate, the couple decide to hit the road
together. Their journey takes them to an island where they discover
strange ruins inhabited by dark magic. Their paradise-like refuge
soon turns into a suffocating nightmare where shadows lurk. Who
knows the extent of the dangers that lie there? They will quickly
learn that on an island, the biggest threat does not always come
from the outside... Iron Shadows in the Moon reveals the genius of
its author in describing universes as singular as they are
mysterious. With her line, both delicate and powerful, Virginie
Augustin illustrates this oppressive and mystical atmosphere, and
gives the story a new graphic breath. In The Man-Eaters of
Zamboula, the Cimmerian finds himself in the land of a thousand and
one nights! A crossroads of beliefs, languages and cultures, the
mythical trading city of Zamboula is also the scene of many dark
legends. Upon paying the city a visit, Conan is warned of the
dangers of Aram Baksh's home. It is said that most of the
foreigners who stay there disappear under obscure
circumstances...and it is precisely there that the Cimmerian is
spending the night. But by lifting the veil on these mysterious
cases of kidnappings, the Cimmerian will discover another secret,
even more terrible, linked to the whole of the city of Zamboula...
A story imbued with orientalism and macabre witchcraft, The
Man-Eaters of Zamboula offers writer/artist Gess the opportunity to
deliver his vision of Robert E. Howard's hero in a comic book story
of exotic and dark beauty.
