Okay time to give the Conan thread its periodic

 

Well, as everyone knows, the first Conan prototype in comics was the Starr the Slayer story by BWS in Chamber of Darkness 4 (April 1970)..... or was it?

 

Two decades earlier, in June 1950, Avon published a one-shot SF/fantasy comic called Out of This World. This is a tough book to find, a Gerber 8, but it is notable for containing what OSPG considers the first "sword and sorcery" story in comics.

This story is a none-too-subtle knock-off of Conan called "Crom the Barbarian." It is drawn by Frazetta mentor John Giunta and written by none other than Gardner F. Fox, who must have been a reader of REH's stories in Weird Tales.

 

I posted this story in thw GA forum a couple of years ago, but I thought some of you in General might like to read it as well. Enjoy!
