By Crom, I love Conan!

the epitome of cool when I was a kid, couldn't get enough of Howard's masterpiece character. Roy Thomas and Co. really hit the adaptations out of the ballpark, especially the Savage Sword issues.

This is one of the rarest of Conan related items. Fantasy Fan #7 from 1934. A scarce fanzine with the first publication of "Frost Giant's Daughter" under the name "Gods of the North." The Conan story was rejected by Farnsworth Wright, the editor of Weird Tales and so REH sent it to the teenager publishing this fanzine, with Conan's name changed to "Amra." There are only a handful still in existence.

 

 

 

 

 

Whoa.

Another favorite piece of my Conan collection. Like ST #1, it took me years to get a copy of the set.

I picked up the 1st 4 issues of the new Conan the Slayer series and it is pretty good.

I hope it continues this way

Another great piece of original art from the Conan RPG and this time a gift from Tomas Giorello, my new favorite Conan artist.

The Busiek / Truman / Nord / Giorello runs contain some excellent REH adaptations.

+1 Dark Horse has done good work with Conan.

Absolutely. And I really think Tim and Tomas's King Conan run in particular is some of the best Conan comic work in decades -- maybe since Roy and BWS's Red Nails.

Young men and boys reading Conan comics and magazines in the 70s were provided a whole lot of unrealistic hopes and expectations in terms of womens' bodies.

I think if you actually looked like Conan those expectations were a lot more likely to come to fruition.

And how many women back then read Conan and had the unrealistic hopes and expectations in terms of men's bodies
