Conan le Cimmérien

Since 2018, Glénat’s Conan le Cimmérien has brought a distinctly European sensibility to Robert E. Howard’s barbarian, with writer Mathieu Gabella and artists David Demaret, Anthony Jean, and Ronan Toulhoat steering the series through 14 issues. The run adapts Howard’s original prose with a gritty, painterly visual style that emphasizes the Hyborian Age’s savage landscapes and Conan’s brutal cunning. It matters as a modern, creator-driven take on the classic sword-and-sorcery icon, offering French-language readers a faithful yet fresh translation of the source material’s pulp energy.
