Each Cimmerian volume contains two complete stories, plus bonus material, including the original prose stories, in one epic hardcover collection!
VOLUME 1 - Featuring "QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST" & "RED NAILS"
QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST - Conan seeks refuge on a merchant ship, after being pursued for killing a judge. But soon after setting sail, the Cimmerian and his new companions face a threat: the legendary Belit, self-proclaimed Queen of the Black Coast! Soon finding himself smitten by the lovely Belit, Conan agrees to joins up with her and her crew to brutally pillage and sail the poisonous river Zarkheba, encountering ancient ruins, lost treasure, and winged, vicious monstrosities!
RED NAILS - Conan finds himself in the Darfar region, whose territory is almost entirely covered by a huge forest. Here Conan pledges himself a mercenary, promising his sword to the highest bidder, fighting alongside fellow mercenary and fierce female warrior Valeria. After a clash against a terrible dragon, the two go to a strange fortified city, apparently deserted...but the duo will quickly discover that a civilization lives hidden inside, and that the citadel hides a heavy secret.
VOLUME 2 - Featuring "PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE" & "THE FROST-GIANT'S DAUGHTER"
PEOPE 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...
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!
VOLUME 3 - Featuring "IRON SHADOWS IN THE MOON" & "THE MAN-EATERS OF ZAMBOULA"
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...
THE MAN EATERS OF ZAMBOULA - The Cimmerian finds himself in the land of a thousand and one nights! A crossroads of beliefs, languages & 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.
VOLUME 4 - Featuring "BEYOND THE BLACK RIVER" & "HOUR OF THE DRAGON"
BEYOND THE BLACK RIVER: The Picte country is an obscure jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. Only one thing symbolizes it: the Black River, which it is claimed that no white man was able to cross and come back alive. None, except Conan. It is in the heart of this green hell that the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young voluntary peasant whom he saves at the last minute from the clutches of fierce Pictish warriors. Together, they will try to lend a hand to the colonists who have established themselves here, on these hostile lands, in the last bastion of civilization. With a dozen men, they will have to find the powerful sorcerer Zogar Sag before he succeeds in uniting the clans and initiating his bloody invasion...
HOUR OF THE DRAGON: Under the funeral vaults of the mausoleum belonging to the ancient and cruel Emperor Xaltotun of Python, three men devoured by ambition come to offer to the inert body of the deceased sovereign the heart of Ahriman, a source of immor-tality which once belonged to him. Taken away at the cost of his life. In exchange for this offering, the three men claim a single thing: the world. However, there is only one person able to stand in their way, a Cimmerian who seized the throne of Aquilonia: Conan!

Was bedeutet eigentlich "Streetwork"? Die junge Künstlerin Anne Zimmermann, ausgerechnet zum ersten Corona-Lockdown neu in Berlin angekommen, wollte es genauer wissen und begleitete über mehrere Monate mehrere Streetworker:innen des Gangway e. V., der seit 30 Jahren auf den Straßen Berlins unterwegs ist und dort "Straßensozialarbeit" vor allem mit Jugendlichen macht. Ihre daraus entstandene Graphic Novel enthält Geschichten und Anekdoten aus dem Arbeitsalltag der Held:innen der Straße. Der berührende, oft auch überraschend humorvolle, aber immer authentische Band eignet sich nicht nur hervorragend für junge Menschen, die überlegen, die Jugend- und Straßensozialarbeit zu ihrem Beruf zu machen, auch wer zum Beispiel schon immer wissen möchte, wer sich etwa um die Obdachlosen in unserer Stadt kümmert, erfährt hier einiges.
Der mehr als wunderbare Finalband, dieser ausgereiften, erwachsenen "Yuri"-Reihe. <3 Ich freute mich sehr, dass die Bände nach und nach vermuten ließen, dass die Beziehung bzw. Verbindung der beiden Frauen in Richtung Aromantik/Asexualität (in unterschiedlichen Graden) gefestigt wird. Die Nebenfiguren sind sehr wertschätzend und unterstützend, man möchte eigentlich mit allen gemeinsam eine große Packung Donuts verköstigen und dabei über die Anforderungen und Freuden des Erwachsenenlebens plaudern. Egal, was die Mangaka noch herausbringt, sie wird in mir wieder eine begeisterte Leserin finden!
Dass nach Shio Usuis "Doughnuts under a Crescent Moon"-Reihe eine neue Girls Love Reihe der Mangaka auf mich warten würde, habe ich doch sehnlichst erhofft. In ihrem neusten Werk begleiten wir zwei Frauen, die beschließen, einander zu heiraten, wenn sie nach 5 Jahren immer noch Single sind. Die Zeit ist herum und beide erinnern sich an das Versprechen und der Manga nimmt uns mit in das Alltagsleben einer Journalistin und einer Köchin, die eigentlich kaum unterschiedlicher sein könnten. Beide versuchen mit der Situation locker umzugehen, doch das Umfeld schaut ganz besonders auf diese "Freundinnen-Ehe", die vermutlich für einige kuriose Blicke und Gedanken sorgt. Zudem schreibt Kurumi in ihrer neusten Kolumne ganz öffentlich darüber. Als Lesende bemerken wir von Anfang an, dass Ruriko bereits zarte Gefühle für Kurumi entwickelt hat. Ich bin den beiden so gern gefolgt und wünsche mir für ihre Geschichte noch sehr viel Zeit. Der absolute Cuteness-Overload dieses Bandes speist sich eigentlich komplett aus der liebevollen Interaktion der beiden, die füreinander da sein wollen und sich umeinander kümmern.
Do you remember a time before the corona crisis? For Brits (and lots of other Europeans) that too was an era defined by crisis, thanks to the ups and downs of almost half a decade of Brexit discussions.

Jonathan Coe's novel begins at the very beginning of the 2010s when Brexit was barely imaginable and follows the lives of a group of characters from across Britain's many middle classes during the turmoil-there's plenty of that in their private lives too.

Coe is a remainer and it shows but he understands and can even sympathise with his political opponents and this is a pretty fair depiction of England's division. More importantly than that though, it is hysterically funny - I literally lol-ed more than once while reading it (not least during the most awkward sex scene I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of encountering).

A novel for those who seek the solace of other crises in difficult times or for Germans who want reminding that others this side of the Atlantic have it worse.
A classic I ran across on my neverending to-read pile and finished within a few hours. The simple writing style made it enjoyable and easy to read, even if it was first published in 1900 and the language is somewhat rigid. It becoming a classic is well deserved - though I must say I'm not interested in the volumes that follow after this first one.
