Join Pete for a look at the first two volumes of Dark Horse's run on Conan the Barbarian. #conan #darkhorse Order your Comic Book Geezers merch: www.t8cloth.co...
Titan Comics now has the license, and the new series is great. The art is very reminiscent of John Buscema. Everyone who is Conan fan should check it out. Also check out Dynamites Red Sonja. Great book.
Thanks for the shout out Pete. Looking forward to doing some shows. Love that Dark Horse run of Conan comics. Writer Kurt Busiek, and artists Cary Nord, Tomas Giorello and Tim Truman all breathed new life into everyone's favorite barbarian after several years of ho hum stories in the later years at Marvel. I do tend to be more partial to the Roy Thomas/Barry Smith/John Buscema stories from Marvel, but the stories in the two DH volumes you presented are great reinterpretations and worthy successors.
Busiek’s run was amazing. Tim Truman and Tomas Giorello’s followup to this was awesome too. I’m getting Amon Amarth: THE GREAT HEATHEN ARMY - INVASION comic and Helloween: Seeker of the Seven Keys comics for Christmas.
Thanks for sharing these, Pete. Don't have any of those runs or books in the library and currently enjoying the Conan comic by Titan (as mentioned elsewhere) so a little after Christmas shopping may be in order. Thanks again and looking forward to whatever comes next.

Wow! Didnt expect anyone to post a video about the Conan comics series in 2023! BTW, the ones by Kurt Busiek are the best ones!
