THE CIMMERIAN #18 - Arriving in comic shops February 3rd!
Written by Timothy Truman, penciled by Truman and Tomas Giorello, colored by Jose Villarrubia, cover by Joseph Michael Linsner. "Free Companions," part 3 of 3. Defying Yasmela's orders, Conan sets himself on a runaway course that will end his time fighting with the combined forces of Amalric's mercenaries, the Khorajan army, and Julion of Koth's rebel soldiers. Our newest issue marks a turning point in Conan's career as a sword for hire, when he and his comrades find themselves without work or direction. An old battle wound threatens the life of Amalric, the leader of the restless mercenaries, and the rekindled affair between Princess Yasmela and Prince Julion continues to enrage Conan -- who must take action in order to save face. This original tale explores events alluded to in Robert E. Howard's Conan tales, taking place right after Dark Horse's Black Colossus story arc and building to the birth of Conan's "Free Companions"! 40 pages, $2.99 Dark Horse Comics |  | ||||

Book Palace: COMPLETE CONAN OF CIMMERIA VOLUME 3 - January
2010 update! A big thank you for all your support and encouragement on this project. It has taken over 12 months to get this book to print, and your advance orders have exceeded our expectations. We were ready to go to print in late October when we closely examined the proof colour plates and decided that we could do better on two of them. We decided to rescan the originals and tweak the transparencies to produce printed versions much closer to the stunning original paintings. This delayed our printing until December. All the colour plates now look magnificent. We are sure that when you all see the results you will appreciate the short delay in getting your hands on this great book. The books are now all printed and at the binding/finishing stage. As we are printing at our regular Hong Kong printers the books are scheduled to ship to us late January. We expect to receive them and mail out all advance orders in late February.
The limited edition Portfolio of preliminary drawings, which accompanies the Leather
edition and the Artists edition, is now ready in our warehouse and looks magnificent.

| Conan Feature Film - Casting Update: Jason Momoa is Conan! Lionsgate and Millenium Films have reportedly picked the actor to play the lead role in Marcus Nispel's reinvention of Robert E. Howard's Conan. Three actors were auditioned for the role, Jared Padalecki (Supernatural), Kellan Lutz, and Jason Momoa. 30-year-old Jason Momoa was selected to play Conan. Momoa is best known for his run on "Stargate Atlantis." He also appears in HBO's upcoming mini-series "Game of Thrones." No doubt Momoa is a popular choice with Stargate fans. Momoa stands at 6-feet 4-inches, so he has the height to fit the part. Latino Review says that an offer has been put out to Mickey Rourke to play Conan's father Corin. The movie is scheduled to start production in Bulgaria on March 15. |

Princess Yasmela‹the city of Khoraja's remaining sovereign -- has been haunted by terrifying apparitions of the wizard Natohk, and when Natohk threatens to bring his demonic hordes to Khoraja, Yasmela prays to the god Mitra for help.

Conan may turn out to be Khoraja's best hope for survival, but his distrust of the soft upper classes and their disdain for his common station may derail any possibility of working together to halt Natohk's bid for world domination.

Based on the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Barsoom Series,” the film chronicles the journey of Civil-War veteran John Carter, who finds himself battling a new and mysterious war amidst a host of strange Martian inhabitants.

The stellar ensemble cast is led by Taylor Kitsch (NBC’S “Friday Night Lights”, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, Lynn Collins (“50 First Dates,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) as the warrior princess Dejah Thoris and Oscar® nominee Willem Dafoe (“Spider-Man 3,” “Shadow of a Vampire”) as Martian inhabitant Tars Tarkas.

BREACH by Patrick Lee - Now available and a good read! Thirty years ago, in a facility buried beneath a vast Wyoming emptiness, an experiment gone awry accidentally opened a door. It is the world's best-kept secret—and its most terrifying. Trying to regain his life in the Alaskan wilds, ex-con/ex-cop Travis Chase stumbles upon an impossible scene: a crashed 747 passenger jet filled with the murdered dead, including the wife of the President of the United States. Though a nightmare of monumental proportions, it pales before the terror to come, as Chase is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around an amazing artifact. Allied with a beautiful covert operative whose life he saved, Chase must now play the role he's been destined for—a pawn of incomprehensible forces or humankind's final hope—as the race toward Apocalypse begins in earnest. Because something is loose in the world. And doomsday is not only possible . . . it is inevitable.

| Doc Savage ongoing series from DC -
Coming Fall 2010; creative teams revealed! DC has previously announced their FIRST WAVE miniseries which creates a new pulp universe featuring Doc Savage, The Spirit, The Batman, Black Canary, Justice Inc., The Blackhawks, and Rima the Jungle Girl. The miniseries will run for six issues starting in March 2010. The creative team is Brian Azzarello and Rags Morales with covers by J. G. Jones and variant covers by comic industry greats starting with Neal Adams! DC has also announced that following FIRST WAVE, new ongoing Doc Savage and Spirit series will debut. At long last, the creative team for the new ongoing Doc Savage series is revealed! This title will be one of DC's $3.99 titles that features a 10 page backup series. In this case, the backup series will be Justice Inc. The
creative teams are: Doc Savage Writer: Paul Malmont (The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril) Artist: Howard Porter (Justice League, Flash, The Ray) Justice Inc. Writer: Jason Starr (crime novelist) Artist: Scott Hampton (Simon Dark, Pigeons From Hell) The above news was revealed in the latest issue of Sanctum Books DOC SAVAGE (#32), which is now on sale. This issue contains a three page article by FIRST WAVE and DOC SAVAGE editor Joey Cavalieri. Cavalieri says that DC's vision is to make Doc Savage the cornerstone of a new line of books featuring a new kind of high adventure for a new century. The vision includes giving the books a kind of timelessness. The New York sky will be crowded with dirigibles, but there will also be computers on every desktop. Bad guys will carry tommy guns, but they will stay in contact with one another on cell phones. Doc Savage will reportedly remain the same character that we know from the pulps. What will be different is the world that he inhabits. It will be a world where you are guilty before being proven innocent. Life is cheap and everyone has their price. The United States will be the primary global power, but terrorist states threaten it. Europe exists, but Eastern Europe in under control by mobsters. There are lots of world changes to provide springboards for interesting and exciting stories. Pickup a copy of DOC SAVAGE #32 for the full article which includes a preview of the FIRST WAVE artwork by Rags Morales. | |||||||||||||

F. Paul Wilson: FATAL ERROR - Now available for pre-order! Set
for Publication Summer 2010 Munir Habib’s life has become a nightmare. His American wife and son have been taken hostage and he must perform cruel acts of self-debasement to keep them alive. His tormentor, who seems to want nothing more than to humiliate him, has warned him not to report the kidnapping or his family will pay a terrible price. But a friend realizes something is terribly wrong and tells him he doesn’t have to go to the cops. There’s this guy who hires out to fix situations like this. A guy known as Repairman Jack . . . In his penultimate adventure, Jack is backed into helping Munir despite his ongoing involvement in the cosmic shadow war between the Ally and the Otherness. Or perhaps because of it. His nature is proactive, and he’s chafing at being forced into the defensive role of protecting the Lady. His instincts tell him to bring the fight to the enemy. And then there’s Dawn Pickering and her strange pregnancy that’s lasting too long. She finally goes into labor and delivers…what? She catches a glimpse of the baby as it’s whisked away and is terrified by what she sees. Later she’s told the baby died of birth defects, but she doesn’t believe it. Neither does Jack. Neither does Weezy. And then there’s the Septimus Order and the Kickers, seemingly working in concert to bring down the Internet. If they succeed, it will extinguish the Lady and open the way for the Otherness to take over our reality. The threads from past novels join these events to weave a dark tapestry that spells doom for humanity. |

| James Rollins: ALTAR OF EDEN
- Now available! Following the fall of Baghdad, two Iraqi boys stumble upon armed men looting the city zoo. The floodgates have been opened for the smuggling of hundreds of exotic birds, mammals, and reptiles to Western nations, but this crime hides a deeper secret. Amid a hail of bullets, an underground secret weapons lab is ransacked--and something even more horrific is set free. Seven years later, Louisiana state veterinarian Lorna Polk stumbles upon a fishing trawler shipwrecked on a barrier island. The crew is missing or dead, but the boat holds a frightening cargo: a caged group of exotic animals, clearly part of a black market smuggling ring. Yet, something is wrong with these beasts, disturbing deformities that make no sense: a parrot with no feathers, a pair of Capuchin monkeys conjoined at the hip, a jaguar cub with the dentition of a saber-tooth tiger. They also all share one uncanny trait--a disturbingly heightened intelligence. To uncover the truth about the origin of this strange cargo and the terrorist threat it poses, Lorna must team up with a man who shares a dark and bloody past with her, now an agent of the U.S. Border Patrol, Jack Menard. Together, the two must hunt for a beast that escaped the shipwreck while uncovering a mystery tied to fractal science and genetic engineering, all to expose a horrifying secret that traces back to mankinds earliest roots. But can Lorna stop what is about to be born upon the altar of Eden before it threatens not only the world, but also the very foundation of what it means to be human?

There is much more planned on the art side of programming, including an REH art display, at least one book, original drawings from pros like the Keegans, Gary Gianni, Mark Schultz (et al) to be auctioned off at the Banquet and sold at the Swap Meet – all for the benefit of the Howard House and Project Pride. All the regular Howard activities are there as well: The REH House is open to all (as is the Gift Shop), there’ll be Walking and Bus Tours, Celebration Banquet & Silent Auction, Swap Meet, Caddo Peak BBQ, plus the great fellowship we afford each other in gathering and Talking ’bout Bob. The Poetry Throwdown is coming back in a revised, insect-free fashion, and this year we will present the First Annual Robert E. Howard Foundation Awards. Also, not all the panels are slanted to REH art, so there’ll be plenty of things going on to satisfy your Howard cravings. The Robert E. Howard Days 2010 Information Page will be updated soon, and we’ll keep you posted as we revise it along the way. I wanted to get y’all to be thinking about the warmer days coming, filled with that good REH Fellowship we partake of every year. In the meantime, most of the basic information is still on the ‘09 version (like hotels & such), so check that out. (A heads up: the folks who run the 36 West Motel in Cross Plains asked us this past HD to not contact them until March 1st for reservations, so be sure to mark that on your calendar – don’t everyone call at once!) So start making your plans, check flight info, gather items to send to the Silent Auction and get ready for the Best Two Days in Howard Fandom. I’m looking forward to seeing y’all come to Texas in June! | |||||||||||||
