Brian48 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yes. Kull was second fiddle to Conan, but at this price, I couldn't help but pad my R.E. Howard collection even a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Lots of nice Severin and Ploog art there. bronze_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 OK. Technically not Conan, but it's one of the best parodies I've read in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it well because it is the same artwork that was on one of the first issues of Savage Sword of Conan I bought off the newstand. Don't remember the exact issue number but I think it was around 1988. I remember buying that issue and it's kind of funny because I was probably 10 at the time and I remember this cashier who was an older lady giving me a hard time about it since I was so young. After looking at the cover she said to me "Aren't you a little young to be buying this?" With my quick rabbit thinking I told her back "oh no that's artwork". She sold it to me and I quickly left. I didn't think she could of stopped me from buying it as it wasn't in the black polybags like the Playboys were on the newstand at that time.

VegasJeff Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I found the cover I was referring to in the previous post. It is from Conan Saga#14. I like it better than the original since it has less text covering up the artwork. Senormac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ya the Conan Saga series is great, it really showcases the art. The over sized panels are awesome. Just picked this up from the U.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it better than the original since it has less text covering up the artwork. I think I might actually have that issue. I bought a whole bunch of SSOC readers a couple of years back and a few Sagas were tossed in the mix. I think this cover is special in that it allows you to "rough" date when it was drawn. You'll notice this is actually Barry Smith's version of Conan drawn by Buscema. The fur speedo and amulets only appeared in the earlier issues of the Smith run.

Very appealing art work from them on some of these. I wish they had an IDW artist's edition of either or both.

Savage Tales #2 cover always looked liked it was ripped straight from the source material...pulps! Bloody good cover art on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Wow. Quite a surprise. Not sure if I should be happy or worried about this. I think Dark Horse has done a great job with the license since acquiring it. I hope Marvel doesn't screw the pooch on this one like they did years ago. The quality at the end was really bad.
