Rob De La Torre is of course a dream Conan artist, and I anticipate high quality from Doug Braithwaite in forthcoming issues; but I’m also itching to see Gerardo Zaffino on some interior art once again. His B&W art on 2024’s Savage Sword would be another dream artist for me.🤞

Comics should be the goal of comics, not a Netflix deal. Stop writing comics as if you have a sfx budget like some TV show. How many pages of sipping coffee in a diner and talking about “issues” do some of you indie creators need? Be bold. Be exciting. Comics have no limits.

I can’t express this enough. We have to BUY this series. This is happening because we the fans demanded it. This is for us. You don’t see comics in this style/format anymore. If we don’t put our money where our mouth is, we likely never will again.

Brissa is proving to be a worthwhile adventure companion/lover for Conan. Not a typical Pict, being a descendant of Brule the Spear Slayer and an ancestor of Bran Mak Morn gives her character some nice Howardian ties.

Conan creator Robert E. Howard seemed rather infatuated with his Irish heritage and Conan certainly reflects that being developed as a proto-Celt himself. 🇮🇪 ☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍻

June 11, 1936, author Robert E. Howard’s life ended by his own hand. It continues to floor me when I think about the body of work produced by a man who only lived to see 30 years. All fled—all done, so lift me on the pyre—The Feast is over and the lamps expire.

They say dead men tell no tales, but in this issue a Howard fan favorite does just that. Zub and De La Torre continue to sing a song written in steel and blood that restores Conan to past glory. Many are excited over the return of magazine sized SSoC, but don’t sleep on CtB!

Stuff like this is stupid and pointless. I don’t get the people who feel the need to try and pit Howard against Tolkien. I love them both for different reasons. It’s not a competition and just seems like an attempt to stir up controversy where there is none.

Solomon Kane by Patrick Zircher. Kane will reportedly make his return to comics in Titan’s 2024 relaunch of SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN. Hopefully, it will be successful enough to justify a solo Solomon Kane series.

The names Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, and John Buscema ring in the hallowed halls of classic Conan comics, but one of the lesser sung names is colorist Glynis Wein (Oliver) who colored dozens of Conan issues (and others), winning the 1973 Shazam Award for best colorist.

I chose this image because it’s one of the few I could find that doesn’t attribute the line to Robert E. Howard. I think it’s a great line, but it’s not Howard’s. It belongs to Tim Truman from his adaptation of REH’s “Rogues in the House” for Dark Horse Comics.

Yes, the new SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN is initially going to be a 6 issue run; however, the power to go beyond that is entirely in the hands of us the fans. We demanded an oversized, magazine, b&w art with top talent book. Now we have to prove that it’s viable in today’s market.
