Just re-read Savage Tales #1 and remember why I was so taken with these mag stories as a teenager... Smith, Romita, Colan, Morrow, Buscema ... what a lineup! Here's the splashes since I had it open. Morrow's Man-Thing splash takes the prize in my eyes...

The thread holding me back from collecting Conans just frayed a little more...

I was more into reading the actual Robert E. Howard Conan paperbacks than comics as a teen; seeing that some of these stories were adapted from his original books is a heckuva siren song.

..and they look amazing...

I was the flip side. I discovered Conan through the John Buscema run on the spinner racks of my local luncheonette/candy store. I'm pretty sure the first one I bought was #42, "Night of the Gargoyle" released in June 1974. I was 11 and waited religiously at that shop on its delivery days to get my Conan fix until at least the mid-70's issue numbers, at which point I was seeking/going to, comic shops...

I found the Howard paperbacks and Arkham House books a little later when I was in college. What Candy it was:cloud9: still
