    Is so nice to see this series be made. It was great to see the realpolitiking that moved all factions of the age, but also its battles, in the way that Robert E. Howard described them. Thanks and good job, guys.

    I had first encountered Conan in the Marvel comics back in the early seventies. I began to learn more and more about the barbarian and of his origins, namely, Robert E. Howard.
    I can't remember where I got a few of the paperbacks but I did read them. I was always taken away to the Hyborian age
    and deepen my love not only for this character, but other works by R.E. Howard. His literary artistry also expanded my knowledge not only of the past, but of the present and future.
    I gained vocabulary, understanding of weapons and warfare; of gaining of power and losing it. So many other areas of my life that I can recall and where that area got a boost from.
    Thank You all so much for your wonderful and graphic video and mostly for keeping this story point on! I truly love all the other renditions that have been done about Conan but I was disheartened because they always dissuaded from the actual story which I truly feel that Howard's writing should have been given more respect and from all the would tellers of Howard's tales, your rendition of this one story is the most accurate and true to the same story that I read in the pages of one paper back.
    ¡ MUNCHO GRACIAS!!
    Sorry for being long winded but I suggest in looking into a couple of Conan's adventures, namely "A Witch Shall Be Born" and "The Frost Giant's Daughter "?
    I do hope in the future here that I may be able to support your channel.
    Again, Thank you guys for an awesome work on these tales!!!

      Conan as a character is hyper intelligent. Not just in military matters, but in other ways too.
      He is not formally educated, but he has been able to draw maps from memory, understand the depths of politics, and religion.
      He has a natural talent for languages, able to learn them far easier than a regular person.
      Then there is his pure fighting intelligence. He is stronger, faster, tougher and hardier than almost anyone on the battlefield, but can pick up virtually any weapon and use it with skill.
      This is not portrayed well by Arnold on screen. He is portrayed as an ignorant savage in the first film.
      It wasn't until Destroyer where we start to see the more savvy and intelligent Conan... it just is not as good as a film.

      Conan is very intelligent.
      He predates the term Marty Stu, but can in many ways be considered one.
      He is basically the best at everything.
      With how Howard wrote it works though, but you couldn't create a serious character like him now and not get lambasted for creating someone to idealized.

    This sounds like it's directly adapted from the story line in the original run of Marvel Comics' "Conan the Barbarian"; issues 19 - 24 or so. The story about "The Living Tarim" was written by Roy Thomas and drawn by Barry Smith ... and finished up by John Buscema. Roy & Barry were at the top of their respective "Conan" games, and Barry left the strip at a super high point. John Buscema came in to replace Barry with a complete different art style that worked well and became more popular. This story arc, and the comics, included Red Sonja's appearance. Those issues are among my most favorite comics ever made. LET'S GIVE PROPER RESPECT TO ROY THOMAS, BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH and JOHN BUSCEMA as the sources for this finely presented content.

      @@ge0metr1xx REH said that Conan had multiple “sons of concubines” by the time he was 44/45, or the era of the story Hour of the Dragon; he just didn’t have a specific heir yet, because he had not designated any woman as his queen. (Letter to P. Schuyler Miller, March 10 1936) At the end of Hour of the Dragon, he declares that he is going to make Zenobia his queen. So while REH never explicitly said Conan and Zenobia had children, his tracking of Conan’s bloodline ends at that point; perhaps he had kids with Zenobia, perhaps he did not. Nevertheless, he did explicitly say that Conan had multiple sons with his concubines.

    Really captured the intrigues, rivalries, ambitions, follies of personality, beliefs, fears, cowardice, luck, greed, plots, jealousies, resentments, arrogance and complexity of Howard's erstwhile Hyborian world.
    The struggle for victory over the domination of the depraved and dissolute Kings of Old, held under the sway of dark Gods and vile sorcerors, was not accomplished by picket signs, protests and polemics. It was hard fought for by men and women of tarnished virtues over centuries under a yoke of cruelty and corruption. Hard won not by ideologies and philosophies, but by individual skirmishes of noble and ignoble choices. Individual strength and courage bred by the cunning and insight of a spirit bigoted by beauty and truth.
    Some are proud to posess words of conviction, but how many posess the nerve? Folly can be taught just as well as wisdom, only Courage or Ignorance can tell the difference. The ignorant barbarian may be as good a tool to decide folly from wisdom as the psychologist.

      The Red Sonja we all know is a Marvel Comics creation. Based on a Howard Character of Red Sonya, but dropped from 1400s (or so) and into the Hyborean world.
      It would be cool to see, but there isn't a whole lot of work about her outside of Comics in general.

      Two other really good REH characters.
      The Solomon Kane film is fun, but didn't do the character justice (Purefoy did a great job). I wish they had done a bigger movie about this. Heck... Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing was more Solomon Kane than he was a Dracula character.
      Arnold's third Conan movie (which he did not want to do) got turned into a Kull movie... but... eek... Kevin Sorbo and rock music? Turning Akivasha into a demon like creature? Bad bad movie.

    "When I was a fighting-man, the kettle-drums they beat;
    The people scattered gold-dust before my horse’s feet;
    But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
    With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back.
    Gleaming shell of an outworn lie; fable of Right divine -
    You gained your crowns by heritage, but Blood was the price of mine.
    The throne that I won by blood and sweat, by Crom, I will not sell
    For promise of valleys filled with gold, or threat of the Halls of Hell!
    What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
    I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
    The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
    Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king!"

    Great video! I've been a Conan fan since birth and have been collecting rare REH Conan books for over 3 decades now - and I really like this recap!
    May I suggest you look into Micheal Moorcock's Elric Saga featuring Elric of Melniboné and his vampiric soul-stealing sword, Stormbringer. Another great sagas is his Eternal Champion storyline - featuring all his many champions meeting for an epic end-of-the-universe battle.
    The gist is each epic Age and Dimension has one great Champion - who is the same life energy/force/soul reincarnated into each time and place as the need arises. Ultimately they form as One - the Eternal Champion in the Eternal City of Tanelorn. This city exists in all planes of existence in some form and is the hub of many an epic.
    Just my 2¢.
    Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing ‼️

      Probably why he was such a good writer.
      He often said that he felt like Conan loomed over him with an axe while he wrote, ready to strike him down if he did not do him justice.
      Just the right amount of crazy and a desperate need for income to pump out at the level he did.
      It is a tragedy what happened to him, and the mental issues he had, that would not be diagnosed and treated for nearly a century after his death.

    Hello, Robert E Howard purist here: this is comic Conan, not the real deal, as imagined by Robert E Howard. Please keep on enjoying it, but for me this is quite similar as if video on Tolkien's legendarium would be based on Peter Jackson's and Amazon's works. Howard's original works on Conan don't get enough love! He single handedly created the fantasy/sword and sorcery genre! Comic books try to "fill the holes" that Howard left quite intentionally, as to suggest that Conan doesn't actually fight evil sorcerers and demons every fapping day. In comics he really does... Ok, that's all, please continue.
