Theagenes Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Time to bump the Conan thread. I've been wanting this one for a while. Contains the first appearance of Red Sonya (Sonja) in "The Shadow of the Vulture." It's a historical adventure that Roy Thomas converted into a Conan story in CtB 23 and 24. This issue is a bonus for the REH collector as it has a second story under one of Howard's pen names Patrick Ervin. This one is a Sailor Steve Costigan boxing story (with the name changed to Dennis Dorgan since Costigan was a Fiction House property). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzilla Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The same guy that did the limited edition "Fantasy Fan" has a new project that he is taking preorders on. It is a deluxe hardcover Edition of Marvel Tales. Chock full of Pulpy Howard and Lovecraft goodness! I just ordered my copy. Any one familiar with the work this guy did on the "Fantasy Fan" is well aware of the care that he puts into these projects! I dont know him personally, and I make no money on commission I just want to give a heads up here to you guys! http://www.ebay.com/itm/complete-Marvel-Tales-hardcover-book-H-P-Lovecraft-Robert-E-Howard-fanzine-/220969300422?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item3372cbf1c6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senormac Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Barry Smith came into his own because of Conan. Those were a great 24 issues.....more or less. And don't forget Red Nails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookwhoitis Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 This thread has been dormant too long. Time to whip it back in to shape. brilliant copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian48 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Conan is really dead these days. Interest just doesn't seem to be there. Not that I'm complaining too much as it means that it's a buyer's market right now. I just picked up this raw copy for $30.77+$6 shipping, and was surprised that I won it.

I really hope he does Phantagraph at some point too. Here's a couple of original copies of Marvel Tales #2 (there were two variant covers) with the REH story "The Garden of Fear." Roy Thomas turned this into a Conan story for CtB 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzilla Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice. Copies Jeff! I have allways wondered which of those covers are more rare. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice. Copies Jeff! I have allways wondered which of those covers are more rare. Any ideas? You know that's a tough call. I've probably seen more of the white and green cover, but that may just be a coincidence. They're both fairly scarce, though. Less scarce is the Garben of Fear chapbook put out by the same publisher (William Crawford) in 1945. That one had at least three different color covers, with blue being the most common, yellow next, followed by the rare green cover (I've only seen two or three of the latter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thats pretty clean Bill. H.P. Lovecraft first hit my awareness through some old copies of Weird Tales Pulp. He was one of the good story tellers from the few copies I owned of that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
