Popular Post WernerVonDoom Posted April 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 Throughout the 80s and 90s I searched for a high grade copy of Savage Tales #1 to no avail. I bought a 9.0 in the early 2000s. Finally, a 9.6 fell into my lap a couple of months ago when I wasn't even trying. Anyway, post 'em if you've got 'em. I'd love to see the other covers in this run. picon3, BigLeagueCHEW, ThothAmon and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 My copy is quite nice, other than one slight flaw... You might get some more attention over in the Magazine forums with this. Off Panel, grendelbo, WernerVonDoom and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ken Aldred Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 These are just a few scans I have to hand. I also have a nice, raw Savage Tales 1 somewhere as well, around 9.2 / NM- Rune, batmiesta, WernerVonDoom and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian48 Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 To me, ST began and ended with Conan. I've little interest in the Ka-Zar issues, but I do have the run. I have the Annual somewhere too, but too lazy to dig it out. Ken Aldred, WernerVonDoom, Rune and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most extreme story Howard ever written and my personal favorite. Does anyone know why it hasn't been adapted ever since? Tower of the Elephant and others have be redone over and over again, but Red Nails has only been done once and this Smith version has been reprinted to the point of ridiculousness. As good as this original is, I'd like to see a refreshed take. Edited April 27, 2020 by Brian48 ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as this original is, I'd like to see a refreshed take. I don't think anybody would disagree that the Thomas/ Smith adaptation was the masterpiece of their work on Conan. I imagine most creators would be intimidated trying to bring something new to the table on this story But you're right, it would be interesting to see somebody else take this one on. Here's one other version, the cover to the original publication of the story in Weird Tales. (The story ran three issues, was only on the cover of the first, and I only have the first two of the three:) Randall Dowling, dover and Rune 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
