Anybody read Slaine? One of my favorites with Conan

    I’m a Conan fan. I’ve read most of the REH stories, and a bunch of the older Buscema stories for Marvel. I previously shared some samples from the recent Euro-produced version of Red Nails HERE, altho three of the samples will need to be re-uploaded to Imgur. Also, check out those Ergün The Wanderer panels-- very Howard-esque!

    As for Sláine, I’m just starting on Horned God now… will post some samples at my community, soon.

    Oh, one last thing-- be sure to give the Spanish-produced “The Mercenary” at least a quick look. The art’s incredible, and the stories are basically ‘barbaric fantasy’ with some high-tech elements.

      Great man thanx! I have almost anything Conan from Savage Sword mags and Conan the Barbarian by Marvel and I also read the last volumes by Titan, the only ones I didn’t like much is the the dark horse volumes they released after 2000, I think the art on those is very bad

      About Slaine, my all time favorite are the volumes Simon Bisley did, phenomenal art and story, they should have at least release an animation movie from that one

        Ah, that was a nice magazine. I still have a couple issues I bought in the early 80’s. I liked that they could go for a little more adult-themed and more complex stories in those.

        Unfortunately, I kind of faded out of the American comics scene and didn’t keep up with the later Conan stuff, outside of some Red Sonja issues by Dynamite, I guess.
