Marchers of Valhalla , mainly because it was a "lost" adaptation from the Cross Plains Comics days that never got published.

A couple I think would be very interesting adaptations: "Double Cross," "The Spirit of Tom Molyneaux," "Spears of Clontarf," "The Man on the Ground," "For the Love of Barbara Allen," "The Destiny Gorilla," "Isle of Pirate's Doom," "The Fire of Asshurbanipal" (supernatural version, natch), "Lord of Samarcand," "Blood of the Gods," "Son of the White Wolf," "Casonetto's Last Song," and just REH's bit from "The Challenge from Beyond."

the man on the ground and lord of samarcand were two others i was thinking about too.....did they already do the grey god passes?that would be epic.

Money and muscle, that's what I want; to be able to do any damned thing I want and get away with it. Money won't do that altogether, because if a man is a weakling, all the money in the world won't enable him to soak an enemy himself; on the other hand, unless he has money he may not be able to get away with it.
--Robert E. Howard to Harold Preece, ca. June 1928--

Almuric, Worms of the Earth and People of the Dark. Yeah, I know they have been done before, but they are so good. A new version of these stories would be awesome.

I second Skull-Face, Shadow of the Vulture and Spears of Clontarf. Worthy tales all.

I wouldn't actually mind this if it was done well. Both the "Conan meets Thor" and "Conan meets Captain America" stories from Marvel's "What if?" were excellently done.

Shocking but true.

Its funny , if any sort of crossover matchup like that ever had to take place again(methinks that sort of thing definitely was a product of the 80's and early 90's lol) it would be against batman.( and I think batman has a good chance of winning too,not to start any controversy or anything :ph34r: lol)
Back to subject , I forgot to mention the bulldog breed and the fightenest pair. my question is, how often were Howards steve costigan stories adapted to comic books in the first place?were they ever? He was one of his more popular heroes during his lifetime , right? I dont have any back issues of savage sword so if they were put in to some degree, my bad. :rolleyes:
( but I just found a nearby comic book store, I havent bought comics in twenty five or so years but now i have reason with these conan and howard series)

I talked to REHSS editor Patrick Thorpe this weekend (Emerald City Comicon) and he said "we are listening."


He doesn't post that much, but he keeps an eye on these boards and said that he got the message loud and clear; more adaptations.

Queen of the Black Coast. I'm still waiting.
"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

"The House of Arabu".
"It is more than a mortal sea. Your hands are red with blood and you follow a red sea-path, yet the fault is not wholly with you. Almighty God, when will the reign of blood cease?"

Turlogh shook his head. "Not so long as the race lasts."

Darkhorse already did Pigeons from Hell as a tpb and I enjoyed it quite a bit. As for Almuric, I never completed the old comics version I only have a segment in an Epic Illustrated (with a fantastic Conan-ish Kaluta cover). I was hoping it would make the reprint cut!
