Conan the Barbarian Sets Sail - Dark Horse Comics: Queen of The Black Coast pt. 1 (of 6)

[@BrushRush]

This is better than I thought it would be!

[@esperthebard]

I love this animation style, but ... Why is Conan slender and boyish? He's younger in this tale, but he should still be a big man with a deep voice. Why does he have this cool, smirking, calculating air about him? That's not the Conan I know. He's sick with a hangover in prison? What? And what the hell is this white knight crap about, "where I come from, we defend a lady's honor"??? This is Conan the Barbarian, not Sir Dandy Wanker from Lord Hufflepuff's court.

[@morgandahlberg9212]

***** I think the artist was more going for how Conan was described in the original stories, than how he's more commonly portrayed in art and more recent tales - I don't have any quotes to pull up, but I do very much remember that Robert E. Howard described him more as being wiery than anything else - still filled with a great strength, but not an over-muscled body-builder. Same deal for the white-knight thing. To be honest - I was actually more thrown off by his voice, than anything - Vic's is one of my favorites, but you're right in that it doesn't have the power in it that Conan's voice should have (that, and I can't help but think of Edward every time he speaks).

[@rancidmarmot1994]

Howard wrote many times of woman's great strength and huge arms and chest.

[@rancidmarmot1994]

Howard wrote many times of conan's great strength and huge arms and chest.

[@WeirdTale]

+Esper the Bard Robert E. Howard wrote Conan as a "Genius Bruiser" type that was just as well read as he was strong. And he often spoke in an articulated way. But you are right on the fact that this Conan needs a bulkier build to pass as Howard's Character. Though he is wearing the clothing that he usually wears in the books.

[@esperthebard]

Weird Tale I have read most of the Conan stories, and I don't recall him ever reading. Didn't he say books are for weak men with skinny arms? Conan was more cunning, perceptive, bold, and of quick wits than academic and articulate.

[@Riverhill]

This is sweet, looking anxiously for the next part! Been a Conan fan since a wee lad, so this was certainly a nice suprise :-)

[@ADirtyEwok]

The voice is a bit off, and I think of Conan as a larger man, but I really got roped into this. I'm eagerly awaiting part two.

[@jackalvulture]

Apparently, this series is great. I haven't tried it myself, except for this. Thanks G&S.

[@Fenrir1]

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

[@CMONCMON007]

this is fine quality of a motion comic! well done! :D

[@RemoraJewel]

Vic did an awesome job! Almost forgot that was his voice for Conan until some of his vocal pitches sounded familiar.

[@TheLunisbadman]

Am I the only one who wishes Mako was still with us to narrate these... RIP.

[@SXHiroth]

Is it only me or has Conan the same voice a the Demonhunter in Diablo 3.

[@ishtarg8]

That's actually a quote from Temujin, better known as Genghis Khan. John Milius stole it and gave it to Conan for his movie.

[@jasonjamescooper6457]

you can't expect the movie or game title and comic/graphic novel series to coexist, different from each writers vision, Dark Horse graphic novels in the 90s best artwork ever!!!

[@vexgodglove]

Great issue of a great series. Brian Wood's writing is superb and Becky Cloonan's art is beautiful.

[@NickelAntonius]

This is better than any of the movies. Proper Conan at last.

[@GymTanLaundryGirl24]

You did a Great Job VIC! :)

[@Rickwmc]

When you walk into a courtroom you walk into a room of lunatics.

[@Lonnloven]

Looks great! I read the paper version of the first two chapters a while back, but this reminded me that I need to pick up the rest! This is a good compliment to the series.

[@suup101]

Hot water, good dentistry and soft lavatory paper!

[@mbphilly79]

Not how I pictured Conan from reading the story, but not too bad.

[@OppaiBros]

Hell yeah, you go Vic!

[@meb1982]

"I am Tito, leader of the 5 jacksons."

[@skyintatters]

FYI this motion comic is based on the very story where the real Conan says "what is best in life": "Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. ... I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.” Queen of the Black Coast (1934) - Robert E. Howard

[@mohammadtausifrafi8277]

Sounds like a content terrorist.

[@edstar83]

"Conan what is best in life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women!"

[@Hijinx343]

Conan has the same voice actor as Ikkaku from bleach

[@RJGaffney]

Amazing. Bring me another!

[@tonystrong4431]

Very well done! I think that it would be interesting to see this in Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series and even in the Savage Sword of Conan series.

[@gogogogolfbalsss]

This is totally the type of character portrayed in the comics! Why cant they make a movie the whole way thru like this? Really enjoyed it- just wish it was two hours long.

[@DevinParker]

This is one of the two comics I regularly pick up (the other being Mouse Guard: The Black Axe, when it does show). The stories have been great, I love Becky Cloonan's artwork, and James Harren's fight scenes in #4 to #6 are fantastic. The art really suffers in #8 and #9 (Vasilis Lolos), but it's definitely a worthwhile series overall.

[@starwarsnerd100]

How have I not found this channel til now

[@IG2HI]

Until a full animated series or a second remake comes to light, I will accept this.

[@jdvarmitube]

Anyone else notice he is called Conan the Sumerian in the subtitles at 1:02?

[@ScreaminMime]

Does this mean my Savage Sword collection is going to increase in value? CROM, it's about time!!!

[@Treee41]

Very good, really enjoyed it.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

The opening narration was a bit drowned out by the sound effects, but altogether, this one was really good. Too bad it's so short.

[@BeowWulf]

I remember reading this story way back when. While I'm not keen on the voice of our favorite Sumerian, I look forward to this series nonetheless.

[@crazycutz8072]

incredible well read and spoken .. loved it.

[@emery616]

I wouldn't pay for a motion comic, but it makes for fantastic KZbin channel content.

[@fuzzylumpkin49]

I love the artwork.

[@FatMat426]

Becky Cloonan's artwork has been animated! :)

[@mangasaint]

This was cool :3

[@victorialadybug1]

Conan's voice should sound deeper and more powerful.

[@ahmedxh]

I agree 100% I Was just about to say that

[@Olhor10]

This is more accurate. Conan was just a human, sometimes he met stronger than he. And here he was just a teenager.

[@Dr_Hoops_McCann]

@@Olhor10 he had the strength of 10 men and was destined to be king. Not just any normal man.

[@Olhor10]

@@Dr_Hoops_McCann you speak about Marvel Comics Conan. In novels he sometimes was meeting people matching his strenght or even stronger than he.

[@Fergit_]

Today I learned what is best in life.

[@syko567890]

What is the name of the theme that starts at 4:00?

[@vinitalohokare6868]

Nice creation...Good work

[@AiMiA78]

dont get me wrong , i have all the howard stuff & love it , pulp fantasy is great so long as its written well. The Buccaneer is a great story :)

[@rafadestrozadeos]

¿Dónde puedo ver los demás episodios? WHERE CAN I SEE THE OTHER EPISODES?

[@DarkFantasy93]

YAY VIC!!! WooHoo!!!!

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

You guys must be the only people who werent the ones who kept saying this is one of the best conan comics and of course none of you are of the thousand who liked it

[@acerb4566]

Excellent work! *****

[@Dave49erman]

Very entertaining!! THUMBS UP!

[@GigawingsVideo]

Thumbs up for both of you

[@scottfreeman1997]

Well Done!

[@kkthomas8077]

Nice ,thanks

[@ishtarg8]

That's because it was written by the mighty Bob Howard himself, and has been changed very little. Both movies have suffered from being made by people who don't seem to actually like the original stories.

[@AiMiA78]

great time'in , im 50 pages from finishing 'Conan The Buccaneer' by L.Sprague De Camp & Lin Carter :) , many a mention of Belit. looking forward to ep.2

[@Gruba_Ryba_2]

Conan is always great, give good sign if You agree

[@invisiblejaguar1]

Awesome :-)

[@ASageCalledQ]

That was quite good

[@AngriestEwok]

I don't know... for me Arnie is always going to be Conan.

[@Vingenza6]

i love it glorious leader.

[@jessiefox3739]

This is awesome :D I like this story. That society sucks ass in the worst way. Go Conan. Btw I was in the exact same situation when this girl that I kind of knew had this dude beat up her boyfriend for cheating on her. So the Union Beach cops were all over the place because this dude kept beating him and then they ran away and hid somewhere. So this cop stops me on the street and keep asking me where they went but I kept telling him that I didn't know because I really didn't. So the cop drags me down to the station and slaps me with "Obstruction of justice" charge, but I beat it anyway. Sorry for the long comment, but I'm just saying I can relate.

[@FatMat426]

I saw that too, whoever typed the subtitles obviously isn't familiar with the word Cimmeria.

[@cyphanx]

Hahar! a good tale you weave, i will return for more...the drink and the blade willing of course.

[@angemedin]

Thats so cool!!!

[@vexgodglove]

It really is excellent, I recommend it.

[@andrewniles1]

CROM!

[@Tahirire]

*thumbs up*

[@mwong666]

HAHAHAH you pirates, oh you!

[@MsYukkina]

Thumbs up if Vic Mignogna led you here

[@Lazerecho]

I like this.

[@darkempire37]

Buscema and Chan did this better,their art in the original comics series is unmatched and immortal !

[@AlVainactual]

Subs present Conan as "Sumerian", not impressed

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

fail

[@parsa8223]

He is

[@AlVainactual]

@@parsa8223 Hah, replying to a 6 year old comment. Anyway, Conan is Cimmerian not Sumerian

[@prettynoose8497]

What animation software was used for this?

[@dcham041]

Very cool , animation.

[@Tariei]

Only accurate description coming from Howard is from time when Venarium fell: 6 feet, 180 lbs and still growing. He was big even for a cimmerian.

[@daleludtke7803]

Replying to a 7 year old thread! Howard did say that Cormac Fitztgeorffrey was a physical clone to Conan, and he was 6'2 and about 215 pounds.

[@kongyasuke8786]

Luv it. More

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Not the voice see envisioned for Conan, we were expecting a more commanding and deeper voice. Regardless, we kind of dug this.🎧

[@leynadIX]

Nice!

[@Revmostrite]

why can't we have a full rated R anime cartoon of Conan the barbarian?

[@makoto196455]

(2:20)Sumerian? Why not Cimmerian?! or Fake?

[@SelimeKurum-lx6fs]

Şaşırdın galiba

[@zuzannabogusawska4597]

It is Cimmerian. The subtitles are based on voice capture, that's why there's a mistake. KZbin doesn't know the word "Cimmerian".

[@Santoscope]

Wow, really nice work¡ i

[@Sandermatt87]

The Logo of Dark Horse reminds me of Team Liquid

[@vaketea717]

You're still tripping off of Arnold.Conan was to be more like Jet Li actually.

[@GEORDANROWLEY]

Morrigan Macha and Nemain! I'm glad to. I have found this! I had no clue it existed. I'm happy to see the Cimmerian come to life. Forget the wimpers of these ungrateful sewer rats! If your a fan of Conan, give it a like and a subscribe!

[@rafadestrozadeos]

Me ha gustado mucho.Solo me hubíera gustado que los dibujos fueran mejores, más realistas y el episodio mas largo y al menos con subtitulos en español.I liked it a lot. I wish that the drawings were better, more realistic and longer episode and at least with subtitles in Spanish.

[@digitaljanus]

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer REH's original stories. But if it wasn't for De Camp I might never have heard of Conan in the first place.

[@MeMoshRocks]

awesome

[@carpediem3288]

translation is wrong about the Conan nationality, is not Sumerian is Cimerian

[@aarondean01]

In no way is Conan a Queen. If he were alive, he would spend 15 minutes tracking the writers down then cut their arms off and beat them to death with the newly acquired clubs.

[@cammyblossom16]

[@Alwaysdoubt100]

Where is part 2?

[@Alwaysdoubt100]

Just found it

[@jonashermes]

Who did this subtitle? Try another activity.

[@robbanerher]

Sumerian or Cimmeria?

[@Rickwmc]

Reminiscent of Marvel cartoons on TV in the 1960's.

[@davemurana8755]

As good as this is, the original story by Robert E Howard is so much better written.

[@thereapermitsuhide]

I take it Conan is still a teenager in this tale?

[@reiergv]

Next episode please :-)

[@OettingerPirat]

thats what he says.

[@AnvilOfDoom]

Really, subbed as Conan the Sumerian? Really? REALLY?!

[@MorganMcJiggleson]

I agree.
