Hello fellow Conan lovers! I just joined! I have always loved the Conan comics (never read the books) and have just recently rediscovered my comic collection after 15 years. I am getting rid of everything except my Conan stuff. I have just started collecting Savage Sword of Conan (and the various other magazine format Conan stories) and would love to here from any of you who are trying to get rid of some (preferrably in Very Good or better condition). I will be scanning in all of my Savage Sword Sword covers eventually (I love the art work). Are there any female Conan lovers on this site?

Welcome to the site!

You haven't read the books, Konan?! Ah, but you are missing the true, the real Conan. The one and only Robert E. Howard's Conan.
Crom!

I like Valaria the most out of all the females. She's such a hottie and there is something about a woman who dresses like a pirate. :P

Hello Konan,
I agree with El Borak's Lil brother, if you haven't read any actual Conan books (Robert E. Howard's) then you are indeed missing the real Conan. It would behoove you to read them. The old comics were pretty neat but they were just comics. As for books some of the Pastiches were pretty good but nothing compares to the orignal Conan books by Robert E. Howard. The world REH created is a world and adventure of its own and you feel like you are there, etc..
Take care,

Hi Konan.

Around here, I think it's fairly well know I'm a big fan of the comics. :)

(And don't miss out on the new CONAN series starting today!)

But El Borak's Li'l Brother and Freebooter are right. The original Robert E Howard CONAN prose stories are the purest form of the character. And there's a great new book collection starting in December with this cover:

Hello once again Konan,
That book that Sat was talking about will be in the book stores in December. There will be a couple of different versions of course. The top of the line of course is a fine gold guilt hardback, with great pics and artwork, both in color and black and white (someone correct me if I am wrong), for around $200.00, which few of us can afford. Then there is the good ole paperback version, for only about $15.00. Anyway, the book is supposedly everything REH ever wrote about Conan, from the beginning to end, I suppose in chronological order, with all of Howard's notes, poetry which he included with a lot of his works, which were edited out a lot in the old days. He reminds me of Tolkien and his poety and songs. The paper back version has a slightly different name I think, but I might be wrong about that. Mine is already on pre-order from Bookland bookstore in my home town. I can't wait!! Like I said, you owe it to yourself to get it and get to know the real Conan, the people and the world in which he lived, the very essence of Robert E. Howard's Hyborean world or what ever you call it.
Take care,
Freebooter; "Am Boghadair"

Hi, Konan! Nice to have someone else join our little community. I can only reinforce what everyone else has said: read the books!
