Product Description
In the mid 1970s following the colossal success of Conan the Barbarian, Roy Thomas helped expand the universe of Conan to showcase further stories and the talents of some of the comics industry's best with the equally popular Savage Sword of Conan magazine. Now, for the first time in over thirty years, these primal tales, featuring Robert E. Howard's most popular character, are available in this, the first in a series of massive trade paperbacks, collecting all Savage Sword Conan stories beginning with issue one. Included in this volume are tales by Roy Thomas, featuring the breathtaking art of such legends as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Alfredo Alcala, Jim Starlin, Al Milgrom, Pablo Marcos, Walter Simonson and more. But that's not all. Also included in this tome are Conan's few appearances in the title Savage Tales - for the complete Conan collection!

 AOC Conan (also this book) December 19, 2008
always loved graphic novels,Savage sword,Red Sonja.the new Age of Conan MMO has rejuvenated me,I bought the game but haven't played it yet,first going back learning about Conan ofcorse R.E.Howard,when I was young it was more about just the superficial content?. just received my copy of Born on the Battlefield WOW!,so happy to have re-discovered such amazing work.
Great reprint October 24, 2008
I'm very happy with Darkhorse's reprints of the Savage Sword of Conan magazines. The quality is excellent and they are collected in the order they were originally printed. The wonderful stories and terrific artwork are still as timeless as they were back in the early 70's.
 Great book in small doses October 21, 2008

Basically, Savage Sword of Conan is a great read, as long as you only read one or two stories, put the book down, go do something else for two weeks, come back, and read a couple more.br /br /Don't get me wrong, most of the stories are downright fantastic! I'm particularly fond of the Barry Windsor Smith stuff at the begining, especially "Red Nails" which is an incredibly good read with excellent visual storytelling. br /br /But the problem is all the stories are out of order chronologically, and they basically repeat the same patterns: Conan meets hot chick (usually a different one every time) who doesn't like Conan at first, fights some monsters or warriors or wizard bent on destruction, hot chick is captured, Conan defeats evil and saves hot chick, hot chick falls head over heels for our beefy warlord, and like James Bond, the story closes with them about to do the nasty. Oh, and there's an occassional magical relic. br /br /Therefore, the stories can get very formulatic and its difficult to get excited from one story to the next if you read a lot of them at once. There is barely any character development with Conan, and with no continuing storylines, there are no other characters to care about. br /br /In closing, this book is very good in small spurts.
savage sword1 October 20, 2008
I recommend this volume highly. Fantastic art and story from many artist in top form. Buscema,Smith,Starlin,Kane are all featured.
Nice trip down memory lane October 4, 2008
Very glad they are doing this.. only complaint is that it's slightly shrunken making it difficult to see some of the detail. but still worth it
