Conan in the Czech Republic and Slovakia! Part 4!

It's been a while since I've had a look at this particular topic, and all the superb information sent my way from Marek in Poland.  I've still got much more to cover (you may remember part 1, part 2, and part 3), and I'm bound and determined to present it all here!

Onward (ho!) with a bunch more Conan novels from Czech publisher Poutník, in conjunction with the likes of United Fans and Klub Julese Vernea! First up, their English translated offerings, alongside the English equivalent (or something closely related, when no exact match exists)...

I want to wrap things up for today by elaborating on a few names of cover artists above which may be new to you:

Milan Fibiger, a Czech adventure and fantasy artist who has a bunch of incredible artwork to view (here), and whom we will be seeing more of in tomorrows post on Crom!  Karel Zeman (who was incredibly difficult to track down because of a very famous Czech animator with the same name)...I'm fairly certain this is Karel's site (here), which has some of his older work on display.  And finally, Czech artist Theodor Rotrekl, a sci-fi and fantasy painter and illustrator (see here and here for more info).

Back tomorrow (that is, if these flu like symptoms don't leave me for dead) with a dozen more Conan novels from Poutník, but this time, all from Czech and Slovak authors!  Hell I might even proofread this post tomorrow as well, and make some corrections (but that's not really my M.O., so if you see any glaring errors feel free to point them out).

And for helping out around here, an extraordinarily large THANKS goes out to you Marek!
