American Update: Savage Sword of Conan – scarce later issues in high grades
*Vintage Magazine-Sized Comics: The black & white magazine incarnation of Conan’s shenanigans, Savage Sword of Conan, was the longest-running hit of Marvel’s magazine line, lasting a staggering 235 issues from its launch in 1974 until 1995, when Conan hung up his sandals and parted company with the House of Ideas. While earlier issues, up to just below the first 100, got limited distribution in the UK, later ones were not seen on these shores except in specialist shops, and lower print runs means that fewer copies enter the market. We’re therefore very pleased to have acquired 40 new issues to our listings, predominantly later issues. Commencing with #35 and then ranging from the mid-issue #60’s to #195, these are higher grade, averaging VF, with many NM among the selection.
