Conan the Barbarian (1970)

on

The epic Marvel run by Roy Thomas and others.  We start in summer in Vanaheim. A battle is being waged by raiding Aesirs with the defending Vanirs and of course Conan is in the middle of this too. He is in his youth at this time and he sees an Aesir being attacked and here he decides that it is not to do with him because he has earned his gold. But why let 3 jackals live? His response, By Crom they should not and by crom they shall not. You know what happens next. He takes a swipe with his sword and kills 2 helping Olav of Aesgaard. The Vanirs flee leaving Conan and his party some time to heal wounds and bury the dead ones….

    186 - 187 might be a good run. 187 is the resurrection of Conan.

    145 to 149 might also be a good run only because I have a nice sequential run

    I’ll look both of these up to see what other runs might be available

    Just finished issues 58 and 59. Two great issues back to back. The first appearance and then origin of Belit. 59 is a great stand alone issue, probably one of my favorites so far in this series. I’ll jump to 84 and 85 next which is the intro and origin of Zula, the barbarian and a sorcerer??

    I really need to find issue 60 now and perhaps 62 onwards to continue to Belit run.
