Grimshade - cheers looks interesting

Grimshade. I also have the Conan Thor crossover. I loved that one too. Two of my favorite characters together.

A Conan Wonder Woman cross over? Never heard of it?

Thanks Pallantides. I was thinking the old paper backs these are relatively new. I think I have these as a leather bound version

For english readers, the best book edition about Conan are the three books published by Del Rey Books - "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian", "The Bloody Crown of Conan" and "The Conquering Sword of Conan". They are the only and totally complete edition existing today, according to the original texts of Robert E. Howard.

This edition, directed by Patrice Louinet (one of the finest REH scholar in the world) is only based on the texts of Howard, according to his typescripts (or the first original publications when they no longer exist). The texts are rid of the additions, rewrites and apocryphal censures of Lyon Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter.

Thanks Pallentides. Do you have photos of the Del Ray books I have a stack of paper backs and Im wondering if I have that edition

I'm really interested in seeing people's  cherished Conan pieces be it comics, books  toys etc. I bet there's some awesome stuff!!

Ill start with mine. This is the first printing of The God and the Bowl by Howard and L Sprague de Camp. I believe ( happy to be corrected) the story was discovered after Howard's death and completed by de Camp. I found it about 20 years ago in Comic shop in Sydney. It

I agree. I think Frazzetta captured Conan the best. But for Conan comics there have been a few great artists. Barry Windsor Smith took me a while to get used to but I ended up enjoying. Boris Vallejo and then Julie Bell were great cover artists for Conan

Cheers 🍻 I haven't yet but it's on my list. I'm about to complete no. 50 of 5000 or so it seems 

Here's mine👍🏻 I loved the artwork so I tried to keep it as close as possible 

My favourite Conan comic of all time is not for the purists. It was a 1983 Marvel What If where he travelled into the future and fought Captain America. Great story and amazing art. 

I remember my first exposure to Conan was through the comics. I was 7 years old and I saw an amazing painted cover of a savage sword of Conan at my local shops. A couple of days later I asked my mum if could buy a comic. Neither her nor I realized that the Savage Sword series was mature age ( to me it looked like a cool He-Man) I started reading it on the way home and I was shocked!!! People were being killed and Conan was severing hands and heads! Nothing like He-Man. That started my love of all things Conan. I think that it was a Sal Buscema b&w sketched style. Now I'm going to have try and find it.
