CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #19: KOZAKI part 1 (of 3) Timothy Truman (W/P), Tom?s Giorello (P), Jos? Villarrubia (C), Justin Sweet (Cover), and Joseph Michael Linsner (Cover) On sale Feb 17 FC, 40 pages $2.99 Ongoing Tom?s Giorello returns to full penciling duties-with the remarkable colors of Jos? Villarrubia fleshing out each page-and Timothy Truman scripts this first episode in a new, three-issue story arc entitled 'Kozaki'! After burning a few bridges and making some questionable choices, mainly fueled by jealousy over Prince Julion's recent appearance in Khoraja and a hatred for pampered royalty and their courtly life, Conan leaves Yasmela and her palace behind. Now leading Amalric's mercenary army, Conan is again responsible for the lives of others. But is he skilled and experienced enough to do the job right? In this issue, we'll also discover more bleak premonitions and clues concerning Conan's near future, when Conan and his companions leave organized mercenary life behind in order to survive as a group of raiders and looters. Such actions will undoubtedly draw the attentions of others, though, and the troubles that began for Conan in the previous 'Free Companions' arc are far from over! o This issue features a cover by guest cover artist Justin Sweet-illustrator for Del Rey Books' Kull: Exile of Atlantis prose collection! 'The latest incarnation of Conan has done nothing but live up to its predecessors.' -Broken Frontier
