![]() ![]() ![]() My favourites were Red Nails and Queen of the Black Coast – perhaps unsurprisingly because they both have feisty female heroines as opposed to the fainting weaklings who are usually clinging to the barbarian's brawny arm with their untouched-by-the-fearsome-sun white hands.īasically, these stories are pure pulp fiction, and all the more enjoyable for being unashamedly so. Of the stories I've read – and I've done my best, but no, I've not managed all of them – the Cimmerian has variously burgled a jewel-clad tower in which an elephant-headed being is imprisoned, escaped from/killed a monstrous demon, girl intact by his side (actually, this happens in more than one), saved kingdoms, killed dragons and man-eating plants, won a thousand fair maidens' hearts and slain hundreds of foes. ![]()
