American Update: Announcing a special Barbarian event: Hither Came Conan!
*Marvel: Over the next few weeks, we’ll be spotlighting Robert E. Howard’s immortal creation Conan the Barbarian in a series of updates to various titles starring the famous Cimmerian adventurer. We kick off with the first and most notable Conan series, Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian which debuted in 1970 and lasted 275 issues, ending in 1993. Art by first of all Barry Smith, then John Buscema before the art duties passed to other hands. We have almost the whole series fresh into stock, including #1 (VG+ £60 pictured) the first appearance of Conan in comics, and then from #8 up to the end, including the very final issue #275. Along the way we take in both the first and first full appearances of Red Sonja in #23 (VF £37 pictured) and #24 (VG/FN £30 pictured). We seldom see much of this long run — certainly those issues from the late 1980s and 1990s don’t turn up for us very often and we have several regular Conan customers, so early enquiries for these are expected. More from Conan very soon!
