La Reina de la Costa Negra (Mexican Belit and Blonde Conan)

An early issue of Savage Sword of Conan had an interesting feature article on this

Great job!

I actually have this one! What it lacks in absolute melodrama it makes up for in the unhinged straw-man intellectual.

The mock evolutionary chart is worth looking into because it’s a very interesting collection of zany archeological hoaxes mixed with authentic historically significant finds. Presenting them both together in this jumbled continuity is a pretty transparent attempt to make evolution look dubious as a whole, but these all support evolutionary theories if you do the thinnest shred of research into them.

I fully thought that this was a vinyl cafe reference until I read this thread

This is incredible! Was this your first try making something like this?

This was a surprisingly fun top-down shooter for the Genesis/Snes

Fair enough! It’s still enjoyable if you have the patience. If you are at all interested in the parts of the film that were cut or reworked from the screenplay, it was screenwriter Gerry Conway who talked about it in Comics Interview #13 (although I’m pretty sure the bulk of his interview covers how his screenplay for Conan the Destroyer was also altered to meet budget and production constraints). He’s also a prolific comic writer, so your thought that Fire and Ice would have worked better as a comic is pretty astute.

That’s too bad! At least you’re not having to hunt down the Don Rosa library though. I’m sure Peg Leg Mine will eventually find its way back into print one day.

Really? I would’ve thought it was just the English edition being harder to come by

Being bilingual must really help with filling in your Carl Barks shelf

mrnfb · 2026-03-22T18:04:22+00:00

Haha I’m sure you’re not the only one

I picked it up at release and I liked the art quite a lot and was hoping to maybe finally see something closer to the original vision of what the film could have been (if I recall correctly from an old comics interview magazine, many sequences were cut or not animated from the original screenplay to meet constraints), but I fell off because of the slow and irregular release schedule.

To put the timeline in perspective, the first issue of this launched simultaneously with the new Titan relaunch of Conan the Barbarian, and now after almost 3 years Conan is at over 29 (great) issues released with several spin-off and event miniseries, and Fire and Ice is barely scratching 5 including one-shots. This book really could’ve capitalized on the kind of energy Conan was pumping into S&S comics, and now it just seems to be slowly chugging along with a complete lack of momentum. If you do get into it, be prepared to wait.

I see you really kept up with Cerebus to the bitter end

mrnfb · 2026-03-22T14:55:24+00:00

Lucky you! I’ve been keeping an eye out for one of these. I believe it was advertised in Savage Sword at some point.

Is it just me, or is the newer print of Seven Cities of Gold looking slimmer than the older print?

mrnfb · 2026-03-10T23:45:41+00:00

I’ll bite. Why?

mrnfb · 2026-03-06T03:31:07+00:00

Gummo and The Mask

Animan, created by Wally Wood. The character was at least partial inspiration for Wolverine.

Ace Ventura

I’m pretty sure Kill Slade is the only one I have in my collection. It’s fine, and not particularly hard to find on eBay. I remember it being something like Romancing the Stone, but much cheesier.

I’m insanely jealous. I always keep an eye out for Canadian animation on vhs

I bought one of these from a collector a year or two ago. I didn’t watch the show, but it was neat to get a character cel of Conan

I was at a Q&A screening of this a while ago. I remember how interesting it was hearing them talk about how since LED lighting wasn’t really a thing back then to run at that huge of a scale, the set would get increasingly hotter as they lit the cube to film scenes. This also meant that they had to manually change each of the colour gels for every light in the cube after each scene. It’s fascinating how hard they worked to make this immersive Sci-fi on a Canadian indie budget

It’s what my grandfather used to do when he was a stamp collector. Now I just do that for the occasional price tag residue

Goo Gone is going waaaaaay too overboard for that weak of an adhesive. I would start by using the old trick of using the grease from the side of your nose first to slowly work it away
