Jeeze-Louize! Opened the mammoth, The Colossal Conan Omnibus from Dark Horse for Christmas. It reprints the 1st 50 issues of their Conan book. The best issues, i.m.o.. 13+ pounds and over 1260 pages of Conan goodness. Nice gift for this Conan lover, I can tell you that!

Wish i could justify this. I looks epic.
I got the damn trades and a lot of the stupid single issues too.

Yea, I have all the comics presented here in single ish form. But, & since it was a gift, it's fun to have the 1st 50 all collected into one fun book. What the hell.

LOL! - Don't get me wrong, I received a few bombs too. But ... Cary Nord & Tim Truman just did outstanding jobs w/ Conan in those 1st few years. Both just fantastic artists on The Barbarian. As discussed in another thread, the current artist(s) on some of his Dark Horse books have lowered the bar to the point where I'm not buying Conan any more. I never thought I'd say that.
1st Christmas in more than a decade I received no statue. Winding down.

So Far, so great! - Tim Truman & Tomas Giorello's King Conan, The Conqueror has been damn good. We're just 2 issues in so you can probably still find #1 at your lcs.
Anyone know id this story is based on an actual Conan tale?

I think all of Tim and Tomas' stories were based on REH works. this one is Hour of the dragon part 2.

How about Berserk? It's a manga but great nonetheless.

You're right. I have all 9 issues of Marvel's Creatures On The Loose (22 - 29), the comic in which Thongor, Warrior of Lost Lemuria came out in. Publ in 1971, written by George Alec Effinger, art by Val Mayerik. This was actually quite good. As a big Lin Carter' Thongor fan, I was not disappointed in the slightest.
