It's Conan The Barbarian, so it's not gonna win any awards for complex character development or, like, positive portrayals of female characters, but these are solid fantasy stories, efficiently told and imaginatively illustrated. It's a tad cheesy but the nostalgic sense of the 70's, Marvel, and Conan more than make up for it. Well worth the read for Conan and classic comic fans. Mar 15, Baal Of rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasygraphic-novels. Straightforward swords and sorcery, mostly swords. This isn't cerebral stuff, but for enjoyable low-brow adventure, it hits the spot. The artwork is a bit rough in the first couple issues, but improves by strides, and sets the groundwork for Barry Windsor-Smith's later mastery. Jan 18, Dave rated it really liked it.

Barry Smith's Kirbyesque artwork opening the first five stories doesn't really pop until the sixth story in the collection "Devil-Wings over Shadizar" though meriting attention is always excellent Howard story "Tower of the Elephant" which greatly benefits from the remastered coloring in this collection. Thomas even gives a tip of the cap to Fritz Leiber's two infamous creations and rogues in "Devil-Wings over Shadizar" with two of his own rogues: Fafnir and Blackrat though Conan naturally dispatches of both quite handily. Thomas loosely adapts Howard's "The God in the Bowl" with the seventh story in the book as "The Lurker Within" and near the end Conan sees the visage of his future nemesis Thoth-Amon in the bowl at the House of Relics.

Jan 19, Quentin Wallace rated it it was amazing. Great stuff. The stories and art are crude at times and would become more finely honed later, but there's no denying the power and energy in these issues. The creators seemed to be truly inspired to the point that they had to calm down a little after working out the initial energy in order to provide the more precise storytelling Chronicles of Conan Volume 1: Tower of the Elephant and Other Stories would come a little later. The gem is Tower of the Elephant, which is perhaps the most adapted and well known of the Conan stories. These are just really fun comics Great stuff. These are just really fun comics, and the newly redone coloring is amazing. I am biased because I've been a fan of Conan for years, but these are the comics that spawned an entire genre and remain the measuring stick for sword and sorcery material.

As a kid I had a few of the Conan magazines but never any of the marvel comics run. This book was my chance to check them out now as an adult. Being a marvel fan but also a fan of Roy Thomas's work as editor at marvel it seemed like a good way for me to enjoy Conan. The art: Is good in this book and Barry Windsor Smith looks to be having a lot of fun here. The whole run in this volume is his which is nice. Conan does not have the bangs that I prefer him with but he does have a peculiar helm with As a kid I had a few of the Conan magazines but never any of the marvel comics run. Conan does not have the bangs that I prefer him with but he does have a peculiar helm with two horns coming straight off the front that I find endearing. Also do to the time it was drawn he is not overly inflated when it comes to his physique. I enjoy this as it makes the visuals a bit more life like and helped me get sucked into the story. The coloring for this volume was completely redone and is super clean and pretty well handled. There is a bit too much dithering and I don't think the art needed the 3D quality emphasized as much. The stories: Are very fun. You don't get much in the way of character development but you do get a sense of adventure and bewilderment. This series perfectly delivered in what it sought out to do which is entertain. There are ancient cities and peoples Chronicles of Conan Volume 1: Tower of the Elephant and Other Stories to time only to be rediscovered by our hero and evil wizards who need to be stopped. The solutions are often found via the end of a blade and the structure is a bit prone to formula but these don't manage to work against it for me. It is not a something for everyone style of story telling even thought the great visuals really help deliver you into this world. One thing I really enjoy is how we get some information about long lost cities or societies but not everything it lets the readers mind float around these places and fill in he gaps while raising fun questions. Overall this is simple but very fun story telling that is perfectly suited to the comic book format. May 03, John rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. I'm not usually interested in comic books from the early 's, but this CONAN series stands head and shoulders above the pack.

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron the DARK MAN MEN, PART
    REHEAPA Summer Solstice 2012 By Lee A. Breakiron THE DARK MAN MEN, PART ONE The 1980s had seemed a promising time for Robert E. Howard publications and study. Book and fanzine publishing was down from its 70s’ peak, but there had been notable achievements, namely the appearances of Don Herron’s The Dark Barbarian: The Writings of Robert E. Howard ̶ A Critical Anthology (Greenwood, 1984); the journal Cromlech edited by Marc Cerasini and published by Robert M. Price, the latter also publishing a wealth of unseen REH in a slew of chapbooks from Cryptic Publications [1]; Novalyne Price Ellis’s memoir One Who Walked Alone: Robert E. Howard, the Final Years (Grant, 1986); the first book-length critical treatment, Robert E. Howard: Starmont Reader’s Guide #35 (1987) by Cerasini and Charles Hoffman; and two volumes of REH’s Selected Letters (Necronomicon, 1989 and 1991). This seemed to bode well for Howard’s receiving, at long last, the critical acceptance his work deserved, but there would still tough going ahead if it was to transcend its pulpish origins in the eyes of academia. The drive for such recognition was not helped by market manipulation designed to stifle the publication of REH in paperbacks, the flood of pastiches intended to supplant them, the disappointment of two Conan movies with no real connection to Howard’s stories, and the decline in the quality and popularity of Marvel’s Conan comics and magazines. All of these trends would only worsen in the 1990s, exemplified by the abysmal Kull the Conqueror movie in 1997.

  • THE LEGEND of EL BORAK by Rick Lai 1. Tales Told in the East Best
    THE LEGEND OF EL BORAK by Rick Lai 1. Tales Told in the East Best known for his tales of heroic fantasy, Robert E. Howard (1906-36) also wrote contemporary tales of adventure for the pulps. Howard was influenced by Talbot Mundy, a major writer for Adventure in the 1920’s. Mundy’s heroes were American and British adventurers roving around India and the Middle East. Utilizing Mundy’s settings, Howard fashioned his own band of protagonists. Among Howard’s soldiers of fortune, the most famous is Francis Xavier Gordon. Howard initially created Gordon in a series of fragments penned in the early 1920’s. The author also manufactured a sidekick for Gordon, Steve Allison alias the Sonora Kid. Both Gordon and Allison were conceived as Texas gunmen who came to Asia in the early 1900’s. In the Orient, the pair discovered lost cities, priceless treasures and all manners of perils. Howard endowed Gordon with the Arabic name of El Borak (“the Swift”). It was often implied that Gordon earned this sobriquet in Afghanistan. However, Howard had made a major blunder about the Afghans. As pointed out in Dark Valley Destiny: The Life of Robert E. Howard (Bluejay Books, 1983) by L. Sprague de Camp, Catherine de Camp and Jane Whiittington Griffin, the Afghans speak Farsi rather than Arabic. Upon becoming an established pulp writer in the 1930’s, Howard revived the characters of Gordon and Allison. Gordon changed very little, but the Sonora Kid was exiled back a generation to the 1870’s and the 1880’s, the time of the Chisholm Trail.

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #12 [WS12]
    REHEAPA Winter Solstice 2012 By Lee A. Breakiron THE DARK MAN MEN, PART THREE The 10th or 11th issue of The Dark Man (depending on whether you count Vol. 2, #1/2 as one or two issues) was numbered Vol. 3, #1 and published in 2006 by The Dark Man Press in a print run of 300 copies. It and the remaining issues have no cover price; this one sold for $15.00. The entire issue of 102 pages plus covers is devoted to REHupan Patrice Louinet’s analysis of the early untitled, unfinished REH story that Howard refers to as “The Isle of the Eons” in his semi- autobiographical novel Post Oaks and Sand Roughs (Grant, 1990) written in 1928. The issue’s wraparound cover is another color montage by REHupan Larry Richter and is based on elements of the story. “Isle” was not published until 1979, when it appeared in the Ace paperback anthology The Gods of Bal-Sagoth. REH started it in 1925 and worked on it off and on through 1930. Louinet, in the introductory essay that was a virtual collaboration with REHupan Rusty Burke, traces the story’s history and apparent sources, using copies of unpublished drafts provided by Glenn Lord. Probably inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs’s The Land That Time Forgot (1924), it starts as an adventure that morphs into a pseudo-historical travelog and ends up as a fantasy, each segment driven by Howard’s interests and motivations at the time. Louinet attributes the story’s uneasy relationship between the narrator (an REH persona) and a Dutchman to a brief falling-out, mentioned in Post Oaks, between Howard and his best friend Tevis Clyde Smith in 1925 over a woman who became Smith’s wife (more on whom later).
