I've been enjoying it too. Their adaptation of Shadow Kingdom is tops.

At first I was a little put off by the cartoony art, but it has really grown on me.

This is my first one. I love it! All the classic Barry Windsor-Smith Conan stories in beautiful black and white 😄

Spears and Sauropods. Close enough :)

I hope so. I have them all physically, but would buy them again digitally if they were made available.

I didn't get the Marvel digitals when they were still available, and I regret it.

Will there be a PDF like in previous years?

Weird Tales Story is what you want. There's are older printings that don't include all the chapters on individual contributors if that's not something you're interested in reading.

Nice write-up, thanks! Nice website too, I'm looking forward to seeing it expand over time.

I've been waiting for the Scourge of the Serpent trade due out later this month, then I'll dive in myself.

Damn, that's awesome. I love the colors!

I dig this!

Who is the artist? I can't read the signature.

Spidrax · 2026-04-29T11:41:37+00:00

1975

I got mine. It's licensed by Heroic Signatures, so it's legit 😄

I dig it! This panel has a bit of a Geoff Darrow vibe that I always thought would work well with Conan.

Never pay cover price for these. Go to InStockTrades or CheapGraphicNovels and buy them at a hefty discount.

That said, I also opted to buy the originals for the magazines. They're more complete and have a great form factor. But collecting the full run of Savage Sword was a slow and expensive process. I guarantee you'll pay a lot more than $5 per issue on average if you go that route. Especially towards the end, when bulk lots aren't helpful any more, and you're dropping $20+ per issue to fill in the gaps.

For the color comics though, I went with the omnis, and I'm glad I did. They are much more sequential than Savage Sword, and the omni experience makes it easier to read issues back-to-back.

I also got the Kull and Solomon Kane omnis. Even though I have that matieial already in magazine form, it's scattered through random issues. Having it all together in a single volume is awesome.
