Good Show Sir Comments: I thought riding side saddle was supposed to be more lady-like.

I don’t think you quite have the hang of dressage.

Looks like Conan has captured some booty.

I see a bad moon riding.

I suspect it says something about the intended audience for this book that I understood most of the blurb even though I’ve never learnt Italian.
Also, Conan, you’re attempts to not grope the woman you’ve just abducted, while admirable, is a putting her life at risk. Get a better grip man!

Damn it, Conan, you need to support her head properly. And maybe get your combined center of mass over the horse.

Of course, for Conan this is the equivalent of a pair of furry dice hanging from your rear view mirror.

Um, how tall is that woman supposed to be? Or is Conan just very short in this version?

He’s about to drop that poor woman.
The horse looks upset, as it should.

Jumping from the castle wall with her in his arms onto the back of the horse seems likely.

As to the blurb, it’s rather charming that “heroic fantasy” is in English.

Swords clash! Passions flare! In Conan’s greatest adventure, “Lady Godiva Falls on her Duff!”

Well, I hate to admit it, but I like this cover. I think it’s well drawn, has a good color scheme, is composed well, and captures the spirit of the original Conan. That’s a good horse too. And Conan is strong enough to have balanced his handcuffed damsel with one finger. Hey, he’s Conan!
And “il Cimmero” (stress on first syllable) sounds cooler in Italian than “The Cimmerian” does in English, at least to my ears.

@B. Chiclitz – You’re just into it for the culo. 🙂

Aaaaand I just realized that “duff” means something else in Merrie Olde. Consider that a bum post.
September 26th, 2018 at 2:12 am
Shouldn’t that skull merit a BEHIND YOU tag as well?

@ Tor – Cheeky comment

@TM: We consider all your posts to be bum posts.

@Tom: I’d respond to that, but I can’t be arsed.

Girl: “I have to pee.”
Conan: “I’m not pulling over. I told you to go before!…Just hang on and do it as we go.”

Blurbissimo!
That woman is larger than Conan. Her legs might be longer than the horse’s. Could be her bum’s larger than the horse’s as well.
“Fangool” is the word that comes to mind.
