A look at the Bloody Crown of Conan

[Doyce]

While at the San Diego Comic-Con last week, I had a chance to chat with the folks at the Del Rey booth.  One of the publishers let me take a peek (and pictures) of the advance proof of the Bloody Crown of Conan, including some of the interior art and the mock-up for the cover.  I thought I'd share with the biggest S&S fans I knew. :)

The fellow I spoke with is in charge of production for the book and is making a serious effort to drum up support for it's release (hence his willingness to get pictures of the book out there) -- he's quite a fan himself and said that what he'd really like to see is everyone buying the book the week that it comes out, thus putting Robert E. Howard into the NYT Bestseller list "where he should be".

Sounds like a plan. I've got my group running OGL Conan next, and they all promised (since they never buy game books, but are hearty readers) to buy the Coming of Conan.  If I know the release date, it would be nothing to get a Conan Party going down at the local B&N.

November 23, 2004, eh? That's what Amazon says.

That's matches (pretty closely, anyway) the release date shown on the cover of the advance proof.
