Are Conan the Barbarian comics worth reading? Where should I start? Or should I read the original stories by Robert E Howard instead?
>>150694179Is she being taken to the bone zone?
>>150694179Nothing made in the last 15 years. But they tend to be really good
>>150694179start with the first conan comics. it gets good pretty quickly and it stays like that for a while

>>150694179Enjoy your 3 day ban, bitch. MODS!
>>150694179Go for the original REH prose stories if you want more, you read the comics
>>150694179Yes.You haven't already read them? 4chan is an 18+ site.
>>150694202Are the first Conan comics those 1970s Marvel ones?
>Where should I start?Classic:Conan the Barbarian (1970) #1Savage Sword of Conan (1974) #1Modern:Conan (2004) #1More modern:Conan the Barbarian (2019) #13
>>150694179read the stories, then go from there, why even ask?
>>150694179Start with the original stories, then read the comics. That way you can appreciate how well the comics match the tone of the stories.
read the becky cloonan run
>>150694232Stop being a snitch
>>150694283Yes, well technically there were unauthorized Mexican comics in the 50's and 60's. >>150694698Don't do this.
>>150694822>Yes, well technically there were unauthorized Mexican comics in the 50's and 60's.Considering how Mexican copyright works, they probably won't have a need for.The copyright lasted from life + 26 years.
>>150694179Is he raping Red Sonja?
>>150694822blonde Conan irks me
>>150694928this is the cartoon board, wouldn't it "ink" you instead
>>150694698I don't think she wrote anything Conan-related besides that cancelled Dark Agnes book, only drew some parts of the Wood run, which is bad.
>>150694179The original stories are alright. The 70s comics suck. While the art is nice, it doesn't capture the action very well, and it has all those comic book accoutrements that get in the way of a smashing story.
>>150694232If they allow loli and furry porn, this should be totally fine.
>>150694179Conan's recent appearances in Marvel were pretty interesting.
>>150695038They dont allow it. It's just that the moderation team for /co/ is rarely every active.
>>150695121I've seen them delete posts protesting those threads while letting the thread reach bump limit and I have been given warnings myself several times.They allow it.
>>150694954>Azula is a shitty pun girlnot surprised
>>150694928How yeah, try hollywood actor Conan.
>>150694179Read the stories, they are short and sweet.
You should read the stories anyway, they're great.
>>150695105This. He held his own against Shuma-Gorath and won just using wits and cold steel. Meanwhile the Avengers need crazy power tech, magic, a god, and a very strong green man to do the same feat. One of these thing is not like the others.
>>150695352King Kull's were surprisingly introspective.
>>150694179The Dark Horse ones are the shit
>>150695323I love how that specific story has Conan fight the closest thing to a Lovecraftian old one, and the cover shows him fighting a snake.
>>150695371Some artists didn't actually read the stories, namely Frazetta, which explains a lot. >Conan fight the closest thing to a Lovecraftian old oneIf it is actually Howard's originals, you can scratch the "closest".
>>150694179>Are Conan the Barbarian comics worth reading?yes>Where should I start? The old marvel bvarnarian and savage sword> Or should I read the original stories by Robert E Howard instead?You should absolutely read the REH stories because they're great.
>>150695406I mean with the reference to lovecraft first Mythos story Dagon and that ending that feels like Howard either paying homage or pocking fun at Lovecraft writing style.
>>150695463REH and HP Lovecraft where pen pals. They exchanged a lot of ideas and concepts. So in the actual as written storties those aren't just references those are the straight up Lovecraft gods themselves.
>>150695463They were best buddies, and part of weird tales trinity alongside Clark Ashton Smith.>>150695493Yes, Salomon Kane outright fought against Tsathoggua in another story.
>>150695536I love how the Book of Eibon is one of the big no no books in the Cthulhu mythos but Eibon in the Hyperboria stories is kind of a goof.
>>150694185Nah, it's just deep core chiropractic re-adjustment.
>>150694179I cant wait for Conan to be public domain.
>>150694179Based
>>150694179How the fuck is this still up? The thumbnail is completely nsfw with a bitch getting fucked with her titties out and the mods still haven't done anything about it? What the fuck?
>>150694822Never thought I’d see a bootleg comic
>>150695454>inspired me to write sword and sorceryfuck magic btw
The main point of Conan is "Cityfolk are full of shit!"
>>150695493They even did a round robin story together called The Challenge from Beyond, and the stark contrast of the REH section from the Lovecraft section is one of the funniest things I've ever read
>>150694179omega based that this is still up
>>150697156He is kind of is, but only by 2028 it will be 100% sure
>>150697550>fuck magic btwIt is more "fuck evil mages".
Controversial opinion maybe but honestly, I have enjoyed most Conan I have read. There is definitely stuff I like more than other stuff, but it has been very consistent over the years and I don't think you can go wrong with any of it. Even the current Savage Sword has been fun. It is kind of like James Bond for me, something I just enjoy.
Sometimes I think Im the only one whos a real fan from the cartoon. Easily one of the best 90s cartoons. I think its not as famous because it wasnt attached to a dc/marvel big name like SM, Xmen or Batman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT3cl4GJIDs
>>150694179>Are Conan the Barbarian comics worth reading?Savage Sword is good because of the tits. But you're much better off reading the REH stories.
>>150697735Which savage sword? there are many
>>150697946The old stuff from the 70s
>>150697673I despise all mages equally
>>150697673All mages are evil. Pseudo intellectualism to cope and resentment for being lesser men.
>>150694179They are awesome, I think it was Image or Dark Horse that published them and the one with the Hyperboreans was great. Excellent series with great art.
>>150697685The current one is great for featuring REH's other characters.
>>150697673>It is more "fuck evil mages".That's redundant.
>>150697384see >>150695038
>>150697619It was to read Skull face after reading the call of cthulhu.>>150698106>>150698389Not in Howard's stories.
>>150697673reddit as fuck
>>150698523Conan took pity of the alien elephant sorcerer, he even went out of his way to save him.
>>150694179Red Sonja defeated
>>150698584More like Red Sonja violated!
>>150697384This is a /co/nan board, mods wouldn't dare
>>150698571how does that affect how I perceive mages?
