The Ablaze Conan series is interesting. They are the result of public domain law, allowing them to reprint Conan comics published in Italy. All four The Cimmerian Howard adaptations have had different writers/artists; The Frost-Giant's Daughter has the most traditional art yet.

Johanna Herolt (c.1668-1721) fue la hija de nuestra naturalista favorita: Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717).
Algunas de sus obras están co-firmadas por ambas, pero muchas de ellas se atribuyeron erróneamente a su madre. Al igual que Merian, estaba fascinada por la metamorfosis.

It feels like something bad has happened today but I don’t know what yet because teaching Maria Sibylla Merian with these sources has been really good.

Conan appears before Heimdul on the blood-soaked frozen lake. Adapted from writer Robert E. Howard by writer-artist Robin Rechtm: The sporadic use of prose, allows Rechtm’s dark art in large panels to the convey the perfect tone. 5/5
