This thread needs BRUNDAGE!!!!

I do make myself so special if I say so myself Thanks right back at you!

"Wheels within wheels in a spiral array? A patern so grand and complex?" "Time after time we lose sight of the way?. Our causes can't see their effects?" I think all REH fans have to love Rush on some level.

Big Comics-Are-Fun thread this weekend...starting afternoon today sometime (pacific) and going though tomorrow. Most items 50% or more off Overstreet as usual.

Another Comics-Are-Fun big time fun sales thread tomorrow. Estimated start time 10 am Pacific. Heavy Silver age, with some bronze keys. A good mix for everyone I think.

That's Dec. 1932. Phoenix on the Sword. Actually a rejected Kull story with minor changes. March 1933 "The Tower of the Elephant" may better be described as the fist "true" Conan, where REH really gets a fix on who and what Conan is to become. Though actually the "Frost Giant's Daughter" and "The God in the Bowl" were written before Tower, just not published in Weird Tales.

Nice set!

Thanks for the nice comment! The USPS is run by ComicGrinder (if you catch my meaning). Thanks for the buy and enjoy the comics!

Ah to be a young man in the 1930's with all the horror and sci-fi dreams of a more simple time.....

I find it so weird that the #16 needed to complete your run was sitting in some guys house in Longview WA all this time. It was one of three golden age comics he has had since the early 1960's. What are the odds? Incredible that it found its way to you considering a guy I met via Craigs list called me to let ke know he had a couple Golden Books he bought from the guy in Longview. I was able to make a deal for it, and just tossed it up on the boards to see what would happen. Funny how these things work out. Now would one of you please find me a copy of Blue Circle Comics #3?

Thanks!!!!

Does anyone have a list or know a link to a comprehensive list of REH Conan stories published up through the 1970's? I am hoping one exists so I don't have to do it! Most of the originals were printed in Weird Tales 1932-1936. Then some were reprinted in Avon Fantasy Reader in the 1940's. The Gnome press hardcovers came next (7 of these). Then those were reprinted (or maybe a few were) by Ace paperbacks in the 1950's. Then the Lancer paperbacks in the 1960's. The only other set I am aware of was the three book Red Nails, Hour of the Dragon, People of the Black Circle set that came out in the late 1970's. I don't think Arkham had any Conan stories in the REH collections they put out, but I could be wrong. Who has the scoop on all this?

ComicLink has a Pulp section now. You can try selling it there at a fixed price. Or submit it to ComicLink for one of their featured auctions. They will happily take it!

By the way, what is "Blood is the Harvest"?

Great book! Congratulations. I love mine, it is one of the two items I own that I like the most (right next to my AF #15 CGC 2.0 blue).

Now Brundage did not do a great Conan, but this is perhaps the worst rendition of Conan I have ever come across. The artist is not credited...from Avon Fantasy reader #8 from 1948. Here is the same scene done by Brundage in 1934. Not exactly Frazetta is it....

Yep..Dragon's Lair was a huge part of growing up with comics for me. They came to the mall twice a year...Larry and Rose. A married couple that travelled in a van and set up at shows at malls. Great books and prices, loved the shows for years, it was by far the best comics event in Denver. My friends and I would save our money like mad for the two shows. Bought my first pre-code horror from them. The red dragon bags were cool, long flap and all. I wish I still had one!

So pleased that these went to good home and will be enjoyed! Thanks! (thumbs u

Right back at you! Awesome communication, enjoy the comic.

Love the FOOM. Had the Howard the Duck issue in 1976. By the way, just finished the Solomon Kane and Bran Mak Morn books from the Del Ray series. Solomon Kane was great! I recommend the REH Kane stories to all Conan fans. Next is Kull, then the new REH Del Ray horror stories book. Have you guys read this series? Very well done.

Probably the AF #15 I sold him right here on the boards (with the header cut out on page 1). He paid right away...had no problems. Nice guy.

Fresh from ComicLink...My first Marvel Mystery under #10. I have been trying to get one for years that I liked.

Thanks very much to all the people who looked at and bought from my Treasuy Comic thread! 100% sell through is fun. Tomorrow I am listing the Magazines I got from the same warehouse find. These are mid 1970's uncirculated high grade books. Most of it is Vampirella and Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu. Perhaps 7 pm Eastern, 4 Pacific. Tom (Comics-Are-Fun)

That was awesome. It is the first of it I have ever seen! Anyone know how many Crom adventures were printed and where??? Why the blond hair? Clearly the same world as Conan, I guess he did not want to get sued by using a black haired Cimmerian. Loved the Tower and the Lions...clearly this guy had read his Howard. Though Conan would never go to the city jail "meekly". Oustanding post award of 2008 goes to Theagenes!

Question: when do you lose the ability to edit a sales thread? Seems to drop off the option list after a while. If you bump it back to new, does the edit option appear again? I could test it, but I don't want to clutter things with an old thread yet.
