It's my understanding that DH plans on reprinting the entire run of Marvel's CtB.

Welcome to the boards ConanFan!!

Rest assured that Dark Horse seems to have intentions of releasing the entire series... at least until people stop buying them. At present, there is a listing on Amazon for Volume 22: Dominion of the Dead and Other Stories. While this hasn't been officially announced by Dark Horse, it does seem to fit in with their twice a year release schedule and I would think that this will be announced soon, and with a March-April release date.

Also, even though the Chronicles are reprinting a low period from the CtB series, when these books are released, they generally get VERY good numbers for Dark Horse during the month of their release (at least in comparison to their other trades released during the same month). We're about 10-12 volumes away from completing the series, and I think that Dark Horse has just slowed down the line a bit to make it last that much longer. They've also added King Conan trades into the fold, so that slows down releases of CtB even more.

I wouldn't worry. It seems like there is at least one REH trades coming out at least once per month. Whether it's Chronicles of Conan, King Conan, Savage Sword of Conan (or SSoKull), as well as trades of the new series and the new magazine REH's Savage Sword.

I've searched through the archive and can't seem to find a thread on Chronicles of Conan Volume 9, so I guess here is as good a place as any to ask my question.

Why were Conan the Barbarian #66 & 67 not reprinted in the Chronicles of Conan? Thanks in advance.

Those were left out due to "Sonja" legal hassles. They were reprinted by Dynamite. It's sad we can't have 'em all together. One of RT's better story arcs.

BTW, thanks for not starting another thread for this little question.

Y'know, I just realized those came out 35yrs ago. I can still remember reading the RS issue with the "crocodile men" at the Labette County Fair.

Thanks for the prompt reply Duece. Were they reprinted in one of the Adventures of Red Sonja books? And if so which volume?

Couldn't tell ya. I assume whatever one reprinted the other '70s Sonja stuff.

BTW, welcome back!

I just double checked and it turns out Dynamite didn't reprint the Conan issues, they just did Marvel Feature 6 & 7, which featured Conan (the final part of the story, CTB #68, was eventually reprinted in Chronicles of Kull Volume 3, with Red Sonja appearance intact). I did a Google search and back in 2009 Phillip Simon was working on it. Looks like nothing ever came of it, at least yet. Weird thing was they DID reprint #115 which prominently featured Red Sonja. I'm still ticked they didn't do the Conan/Red Sonja story from SSOC #1 in its proper place, which was before #43. They could've even used the color version from #78 (even though they redid the two page spread to a one pager to make it fit). That's stranded out there with the color versions of Secret of Skull River from #64 and People of the Summit from #87 (the Ernie Chan Hyborian Age from that issue is missing too).

Also no answers as of yet to the question of the two color Marvel Super Specials and a complete Hour of the Dragon/Conan the Conqueror collection.

i recently sold my chronicles collection and have started to get every issue of the old marvel CtB comic book because of the issues omited from the tpbs. (durn the b.w.s. issues are expensive!) and i must say finding these old comics for a good price is time consuming. But it is kind of fun in a way. Anyone else decide to do this?
