The Cimmerian: Beyond the Black River #2

In "Beyond the Black River," Conan ventures into the treacherous jungle province of Conajohara, where the line between civilization and barbarism blurs along the deadly Black River. With the help of a young peasant named Balthus, he joins a small band of settlers in a desperate race to stop the sorcerer Zogar Sag before he unites the warring clans and unleashes a bloody invasion. Written by Mathieu Gabella and illustrated in bold, atmospheric detail by Anthony Jean—whose inks and colors deepen the tale’s primal dread—this issue captures the raw edge of sword and sorcery. The cover by Richard Pace perfectly frames the story’s grim, wild heart.
