Marvel's Conan the Barbarian has several INCREDIBLE arches, the Conan/Belit comics are GREAT. Conan the King is also good.

This was an extremely well done, informative video covering REH's works as presented in the various comics over the years. Really helped me see where to go and what to do to continue collecting all this great stuff from both Marvel and Dark Horse. Thanks for putting all this together in such a comprehensive, yet accessible manner! :)

Really glad to see you back "on the air" regarding collected editions of our favorite comics! I just got the Marvel Conan Omni in the mail today. I had already collected many of the paperback editions from DH back when they were starting to put out the Chronicles of Conan re-colored trades and the Savage Sword of Conan B&W collections. However, I only collected the Roy Thomas written stories as I always thought he gave the most attention to staying to the original character that REH created. That would be Vol's 1-14 and 31-34 of COC and Vol's 1-5 and 19-22 of SSOC. I'll probably still pickup the Conan The Barbarian Omni's as they come out even tho I have the DH trades (will be doing some color comparisons on those early issues to see if they were really that bad) but not sure how many SSOC Omni's I'll pickup past the first one. Best story arcs for me during the Thomas/Buscema years were all the issues containing Belit, Queen of the Black Coast through issue #100.
@SequentialsDeluxe5 жыл бұрын
Dedicated Conan fan! I had collected a few of the trades here and there, but eventually I just decided to wait until hardcovers came out. Glad I did, even if the Savage Sword content is basically the same I'm in it for the new colors on the main series!

SSOC was the BEST comic ever created. Dark Horse's version benefits from slick paper, computer coloring, and art created in today's climate when the Internet provides all the image reference and swipe material one could ever ask for (and I speak as a professional artist who has lived long enough to know the difference). SSOC was printed on cheap paper in b&w and was drawn and inked completely out of the artists' imagination and raw talent with covers painted in oil, with no digital tools to allow editing and endless tweaking. The team of Buscema and Alcala created the most beautiful b&w comics ever.

Hello Will. It's so good to have you back!!!! Please keep doing videos like this one. I like your channel because a) it's not just about hauls 2) you are interested in a variety of different comics/ movies / bandes dessinées and are obviously more open minded that the average comic reader on youtube and 3 ) because you are critical and don't find everything you read interesting, your opinion is more valuable to me even if i disagree with your preferences most of the time. Since you asked about suggestions, i would like more videos shows with MJ if possible. He is very interesting to listen to and would like to see him more often on your show.

This video was right up my alley. I specialized in collecting all the original stuff containing Conan, including the Savage Tales issues containing him. I also branched off a little and got most of the Marvel Red Sonja stuff. There is also Conan Saga which reprints the original Conan The Barbarian comic in magazine size black & white. Anyway thanks for the info. I didn't realize Conan was still popular.

I would like to do that but I'm not entirely certain what I want it to be. I don't make scripts for these so they tend to be just off the dome and I'm not sure if it would be interesting to just have pictures of the things I'm talking about going the whole time? I think what I really need to do is start making scripts and then shooting B roll and such to make better content, but I don't have much experience with editing something like that together so I haven't given it much of a go...

If you can score them for cheap, it's a good option! The paper stock is kinda the older school "toothy" paper and since there's no color for DH to ruin it looks pretty good. There were some volumes becoming expensive in recent months but I'd be curious to see I'd they drop in price on the used market after the Omni start coming out.

Hey. I have a quick Conan question: At my local bookstore there is an edition of Colossal Conan for $300 CDN (open copy, good condition) . I have been thinking about purchasing it for awhile, especially considering won't be printed ever again (with the Marvel acquisition). I also noticed open copies on eBay this week selling for over $500. I'm wondering if anyone could provide any insight on the future "collectability" of this giant volume, whether this is a good deal, if the recent ebay prices are inflated etc.

It's highly unlikely it will get a reprint since Dark Horse doesn't own the rights and Marvel doesn't print books in that size. I can't guarantee it, but I think it will be 300+ dollars permanently
