AtlasFan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 So what's the story about the Gnomes? I love a good story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 So what's the story about the Gnomes? I love a good story! They are the first Conan books, published by Gnome in the early 50's. The stories are the versions edited by L. Sprague de Camp that would later form the basis for the Lancer paperback series with Frazetta covers that most people known from the 60's and 70's. Very collectible and very cool. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicsarefun Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 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....

AtlasFan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Cool books! Were these part of a long-time single owner collection or aquired over time? I collect Arkham Lovecraft books (among others) from the 50s & 60s and love a good story as to how such collections are put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
