Here's the solicit info:
CONAN THE BARBARIAN #10
At least they're back on the water. There may be room to fit in some incidents mentioned in other stories if they don't spend all three issues out on the water.
Interesting looking cover, but what's with the obsession with making Conan skinny now? Lithe is one thing, emaciated is another unless it's part of the story.
I looked up some of Declan's art from his Marvel work, I like what I've seen.
The last little comment tagline says it all about where we are.

Conan and Bêlit are the undisputed masters of the Western Ocean, their names whispered in fearful awe all along the Black Coast. But when Conan spots a mysterious, derelict ship following them, its horrifying cargo threatens to destroy everything they’ve built and tear them apart!
• From Brian Wood (Northlanders) and Declan Shalvey (Dark Avengers)!
• Wood’s hard-hitting take on the Cimmerian is winning scores of new readers!

"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

In a Very Special Conan the Barbarian, Conan struggles with an eating disorder.

Ugh. Give it a few more issues and they'll have him with full on emo bangs. This sucks. The hair, the terrible pec insertions, the clawing hands and ninja turtle feet, just awful. When will we be rid of these Massimo covers?

Nay, I am referring to the gap in his chest between the muscles. The wider the gap the weirder it looks.

Seriously, though, Iggy (at 60) looks meaner/more bad-a$$ than that.
Support the Robert E. Howard Foundation. It helps you and Robert E. Howard's legacy.

Agreed. Definitely.
As an aside, several older men that kept/keep looking tough and dangerous into older age that come to mind are guys like Woody Strode, Jim Brown, Chuck Connors, James Arness, and of course, Clint Eastwood.

Crom!! Conan really needs to eat something.
He can't keep anything down; he and Bêlit have been at sea so infrequently that he's still seasick all the time.

what this painting needs is a skull floating in the background.

"Our basic purist premise:
ROBERT E. HOWARD, ENTIRELY ALONE, WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM ANY OTHER PERSON, CREATED THE CHARACTER CONAN OF CIMMERIA. NO OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS SHOULD BE INTRUDING THEIR WORK INTO THE VOLUMES OF HOWARD'S CONAN STORIES.
In essence, we believe that the work of any creative artist -- writer, painter, illustrator, musician, what-have-you -- is a unique expression of an artistic point of view. It should not be appropriated or altered by others without the artist's consent. No other writer has Robert E. Howard's unique point of view, and no other writer knows what Howard would have done with his character had he lived. Upon his death, his canon, the expression of his artistic vision, became fixed. Tampering with it now is desecration."

What this Clonan needs is a bra. Buxom Sorceress would be jealous.
