And possibly the first appearance of Crom ? 

 

Why is the Watcher holding an Etch-a-Sketch?

“This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.”

“It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.”

“Don’t underestimate the Force.”

Surprised no one brought up the “Conan Prototype”

[Yorick]

Are the early 90's part of "bronze", or is that "copper" or "modern"?

Anyway, I keep looking for graded copies of that wonderful Chaykin/Mignola/Williamson 4 issue mini-series of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.  I found a copy of #1 in 9.6 and bought it, but that's all I've seen.  I've re-read the trade edition too many times to count.

Cgcs glossary defines 

Bronze 70-79

Copper 80-89

And modern 90 to current 

It also calls part of the golden age as the atomic age, so for the boards, if you post in golden or older it can give a hang up

Remember the pinned threads that used to be in every ages forum that explained what to post? Haha 

Still go by decades, except for the submission forms where 1975 to current is modern

And my second book that I'm posting. 

I believe the first appearance of Thulsa Doom? 

The Severin artwork has a timeless quality that is perfect for Kull.

This was Gil Kane's best work imho, and a wonderful adaptation of this REH story.

Following the other bronze age period 70'-84' to slip this in

Almost Forgot about this one. It's ALL Conan except in name.
