Kramerica Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The entire 24 issue run of BWS's artwork is worth collecting, just to see his transformation as an artist. Personally, I've only ever cared for his issues and the one Neil Adams issue. And the "Crusty Bunkers" issues? Those were awesome artist jams.....

Rune Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Over the years I have collected a substantial amount of Conan cover photos/scans, although restricted to the first 24 issues and Annual #1 (=the Barry Windsor-Smith issues). The collection is not complete, of today's 357 Conan the Barbarian #1 to #24 plus Annual #1 books I have pictures of 268 (= 75 %). Because not all books are ever offered for sale, and of course I may simply have missed some, the list can never be expected to be complete. But no more sleepless nights! - Now you can FINALLY get answers to your questions: 1. What do the three 9.9 books look like? (#2, #7 and #21)? 2. Is there an #4 with perfect cover orientation/alignment? 3. I've never seen an #12 9.8, must been an error in the CGC Census, right? 4. In this short human life, will I ever see the single #1 9.8 belonging to the Signature Series? And so on... ;-) You can find it all here (let me know if I can improve on anything): http://s1270.photobucket.com/user/runesr2/library/ Replies can be made here, thank you:http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7757093#Post7757093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradejunky Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 DH Conan is pretty awesome. The first Busiek/Nord run was great. The newer Barbarian title was also pretty good, but the Avenger book is kind of a bummer to me 2 issues in. However, the King Conan mini's are just up there with the best stuff on the shelves today hands down. Truman and Giorello are an amazing Conan team!

stroszek Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What about the Cloonan Conans? One of the quickest about faces I've ever done. I hated, hated, hated the first issue she drew and then by the third I decided she was really quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradejunky Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Okay, the last series called Conan the Barbarian. I like it well enough from what I read but it isn't the best series to come from DH so far IMO. I didn't read the whole series either, just 1-10 and the last few issues. I'll eventually try and complete the run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian48 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What about the Cloonan Conans? I actually like the Cloonan run. Took a little getting used to after the book, but as the arcs progressed, I found the style fit mood and tone of the stories they were trying to tell. FYI to any Barry Smith fans out there, there's another Tupenny portfolio for sale/auction on eBay. Looks to be great shape as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STORMSHADOW_80 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I really like the King Conan series that is currently out by DH. Great story and great art. I'll post a book in a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STORMSHADOW_80 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Its a sweet swipe of Arnold. I think it is only a 1:10 variant. I bought it from TFAW with 30% off of cover price. They might have more still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradejunky Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yep, that is an awesome variant, and one I bought as well even not being a variant guy either. The book inside is some good readin' too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've been meaning to get a page from one of Tomas Giorello's and Tim Truman's King Conan run and I finally did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Then I thought, ah what the hell, why not get a second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
