Zubby Newsletter #78: Cimmerian September

I wouldn’t normally send out two newsletters in one week, but there is so much going on and a few time-sensitive deadlines that I needed to double up here. Trust me, I don’t have time to make this a regular thing.


Prep Your Fall Reading List For Glory


For the past 2 years on pulp literature-focused YouTube channels and various book blogs, there’s been a little movement called Cimmerian September, with people reading Conan stories – the original prose stories or pastiche novels/comics – and sharing their thoughts online.

On September 1st, it’s happening again and you can join in!

With the surge in interest around our favorite Cimmerian, I want to signal boost this fine endeavor and encourage old and new readers to join us. The original unedited Robert E. Howard prose tales are available physically and digitally in a wonderful 3-volume set published by Del Rey-
1) The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian
2) The Bloody Crown of Conan
3) The Conquering Sword of Conan

On the comic front, the current Titan Comics series launched last year and we have two collected volumes released so far-
1) Conan the Barbarian: Bound in Black Stone
2) Conan the Barbarian: Thrice Marked For Death
with volume 3 available for pre-order, arriving in October.

There’s also a brand-new Robert E. Howard character-focused mini-series launching September 4th called Conan: Battle of the Black Stone, along with a special lead-in issue of Savage Sword of Conan, our black & white anthology magazine, in comic shops today – Wednesday, August 28th!

You can sample and share the new comics by checking out our Free Comic Book Day issues available FREE online:


Free Comic Book Day 2023 – Conan the Barbarian Prelude
Free Comic Book Day 2024 – Conan: Battle of the Black Stone Prelude

If you get a chance to participate any time this Fall, let people online know what you think and get discussion going. It’s a fantastic time to dive into grand adventures in the Hyborian Age!

If you want to convince friends or family to read Conan, let them know that the character and world is incredibly easy to jump into and core premise is simple:

Conan is a wandering warrior in a pre-historic time of swords, sorcery, danger and mystery. Wherever he goes, adventure and excitement is sure to follow.


Tickets Going Fast!

Even though it was only announced a couple weeks ago, my table for D&D In a Castle in early November is already almost full. If you’re interested in heading to northern England and playing at Lumley Castle in my D&D 50th anniversary adventure, you should dive in before all seats are gone.



In a similar vein, event registration for Gamehole Con is this Saturday, August 31st for general attendees. I’m running the old school dungeon delve I brought to Gary Con back in March three times over the weekend and seats are limited, so make sure you Wishlist that if you’re going.

Stacy is also running a special adventure for kids (one session ages 6-9 and another ages 10-12), so if you’re heading to the convention with your family add that to your Wishlist as well!

    Links and Other Things

    • My friend Jim Demonakos has produced an amazing documentary on comic creator Mike Mignola and it’s finally being released September 17th! Make sure you check that out.

    • Watch a time lapse video of artist David Palumbo painting the cover to this week’s issue of Savage Sword of Conan in oil. When the cover was first revealed in solicits, several people responded that it was digital, but it’s all traditional and stunning to watch it unfold as he talks about his process.

    Sword & Sorcery Book Club is doing a series of videos that cover the prose source material I’m using as part of Battle of the Black Stone. His latest is the original Robert E. Howard horror story, The Black Stone, so you definitely don’t want to miss that.

    Gary B The Casual Comic Guy has a new video covering the strengths of the new Conan comic series and how other publishers can use what we’re doing to strengthen their releases. I’m humbled by the high praise and thankful we have such a loyal readership.

    *whew* Okay, thanks for your patience on this newsletter double-dip and I hope your summer is ending strong!

    Zubby Newsletter #66: Howard Days

    The Howard Museum in Cross Plains, Texas.

    I’m home from four days in Texas – three in Cross Plains for Howard Days, the annual Robert E. Howard celebration at his home, and a quick half day stop at Fan Expo Dallas.

    Howard Days was an informal gathering that began in 1986 with ten fans making a pilgrimage to Robert E. Howard’s home and is now an official two day event deeply tied into the town with several hundred attendees. There’s a small pavilion set up near the home for barbecues and hanging out, a dozen vendors selling books and other merchandise, tours of the house (which is now a museum) and local sites, discussion panels and signings at the community center, original manuscripts on display at the local library, gaming, poetry readings, a banquet, a silent auction, and more.

    Each piece of the festival was quite small but when you put it all together it made the whole thing feel expansive, especially considering that Cross Plains itself has a population of less than a thousand people. Dozens of regulars return to spend time together, year after year, alongside a host of new people like me making the trek for the first time. I thought coming down from Canada would make me the furthest visitor for the event, but I was wrong – there were people who came in from France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Norway.

    Jeff Shanks, the Howard expert who writes the essays in the back of each issue of Conan the Barbarian, told me it was a family reunion and I was part of the family, and I joked that I was more like a long lost cousin who showed up out of nowhere carrying a deed for an important tract of land. That said, the Howard Days core made me feel incredibly welcome and their excitement for the future of the fandom came through in every interaction.

    This year, Robert E. Howard’s original writing desk had been restored and replaced the stand-in they’d been using for decades at the museum. I was one of the first people to stand at the desk returned to its rightful spot and, as you might imagine, it all felt pretty surreal. Honestly, the whole week was surreal, as I chatted with literary scholars, locals, friends, and fans.

    Jeff Shanks, John C. Hocking, Howard Andrew Jones, and me.

    I filmed interviews and signed hundreds of comics while walking around the small town grounds where the sword & sorcery genre came to life. Shawn Curley from Heroic Signatures was there filming material for the official Conan the Barbarian YouTube channel and, as it all gets compiled, edited, and posted, I’ll be sure to share it in future newsletter installments. The legacy and gravity of it all washed over me a few times, but then a few minutes later we’d all just be laughing and hanging out, looking for respite from the intense Texas heat or hunting for bug spray to handle the mosquitos.

    Fan Expo Dallas on Sunday was a breakneck pace, especially in contrast to the previous three days. I woke up at dawn and drove almost 3 hours from Cross Plains to Dallas, arrived at the convention center, signed for two hours, hosted a Conan panel, signed for another hour and then had to dash so I could return my rental car and head to the airport. Lots of Conan, Dungeons & Dragons, and Marvel fans there and it was really nice even though it was so short and rapid fire.

    I’m finally home and spending today unpacking, reorganizing, and decompressing. The whole week was really special but I don’t know if all of it has really sunk in yet.



    CONAN THE BARBARIAN: BOUND IN BLACK STONE won this year’s Costigan Award at Howard Days!

    “Awarded for original creative writing that carries on the spirit and tradition of Robert E. Howard, to better recognize and celebrate his influence on future generations of writers.”

    Comics are rarely nominated and an original one based on a Robert E. Howard property has never been nominated in the literary category before.

    Rob De La Torre and José Villarrubia also won the Rankin Award for Artistic Achievement, so Bound in Black Stone won in both categories we were nominated in.

    I know for people on the outside it may seem obvious that a Conan book wins a Robert E. Howard-related award, but the Foundation is not directly tied to the company that owns Conan, it’s an independent panel of scholars and archivists focused on the legacy and literary merit of Howard’s works. I’ve been writing Conan-related comic stories since 2015 and this is the first time the Foundation has given my work any kind of acknowledgement, both with the nomination and now the award.

    Bill Cavalier, one of the Foundation board members and a key organizer of the festival, handed me the award and said-
    “Congrats! We don’t normally give ’em to the funny books, but you and the boys did a fine job. Keep it up.”

    Thank you to the Foundation and our readers. It’s an honor.


    Doom Is Coming…and It’s Going To Be Great

    Shawn Curley has posted a Conan News video on the official Conan the Barbarian Youtube channel and it’s packed with exclusive sneak peeks at artwork from CONAN THE BARBARIAN #12, the next Conan prose novel, Savage Sword, a sneak peek of the Heroic Signatures office, and more. I also make a brief appearance at the 5:40 mark to help hype the end of our first year on the relaunch.


    Jim Zub – Voice Actor?

    The latest grad films from Seneca Animation are starting to get posted online and first out of the gate is Fly Away, Froggy Boy, a wild and weird noir story about an anthropomorphic fly seeking revenge against the frog mob.

    I lent my voice to the Frogfather, the main villain of the cartoon and it was a lot of fun snarling, grunting and screaming my way through the script. Give it a watch and let me know what you think of my performance and the hard work of my students.


    Back In School With Teachers In The Dungeon


    Stacy and I returned to the Teachers in the Dungeon podcast, chatting with Tom Gross and Dan Reem all about ARTIFICERS & ALCHEMY, the latest Dungeons & Dragons Young Adventurer’s Guide, discussing what goes into making the books, igniting the imagination of new gamers, fun details, future plans, and more!

    You can listen to this episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Links and Other Things

    • Conan scholar Jeff Shanks is chatting up a storm lately, and his latest interview with Stygian Dogs is fantastic, covering many different aspects of Robert E. Howard literary and fandom circles.

    • Literary Hub has an excerpt from Ursula K. Le Guin‘s book The Language of the Night that may strike a chord with writers and would-be writers I know.

    Chris Broad stops at every station on Tokyo’s famous Yamanote subway line in one day and shows off interesting or obscure things at each one. Seeing familiar spots from my recent Tokyo trip and learning about new places to check out was enjoyable.

    Asa Wheatley is crowdfunding the next volume of Sagas of the Shield Maiden. I’ve enjoyed the previous anthology volumes and am looking forward to this one.

    Have a wonderful week!
