Originally created in the 1930s, Robert E. HowardÂ’s Conan the Barbarian has survived to emerge as one of this centuryÂ’s most powerful and popular characters. Even more impressive than the characterÂ’s lasting appeal over the past seven decades, is the caliber of talent involved in all of the various Conan incarnations. Of those, there are few that speak as clearly and as uniquely as artist Barry Windsor-Smith. Over the course of these early stories, Windsor-SmithÂ’s stunning evolution from comic-book cartoonist to full-fledged artist is apparent and thrilling to behold. This volume collects issues #14, #15, and #17-#21 and features completely remastered color. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A great Series Again!Dark Horse is doing a great job with this reprint series. While the recoloring does not always do the John Buscema art full justice, it is usually much better than the 70's Marvel coloring. The stories adapted by Roy Thomas are as vibrant and thrilling as ever. Recommended. Rating: - Finally! The covers are included!There's not much I can add to what's already been written in other reviews of this series, so I'll limit myself to one remark. The cover of an adventure comic book, illustrating a specific story presented within, is an essential part if that story. Its purpose is not only to make a potential buyer pick up the issue in the store and - hopefully - buy it; it is also an introductory image, a glimpse of the action-to-come and intended to set the mood before the reader even glances at the opening page ...

Following the death of Belit, the series started a steady decline which kicked into overdrive with the departure of Roy Thomas. This volume collects the last of the Roy Thomas stories. I wish I could say that he went out with a bang. Sadly, the quality of the stories ... Read More Rating:  - superiorThis entire series of reproductions of the classic Conan comics from the 1960s and 1970s is superior. The details are incredible and the colors are more vivid than in the originals and the paper quality is superior and you will not have to worry about preservation. A great substitute for the originals ( and more affordable). Rating: - BELIT'S FINAL ADVENTUREDark Horse continues its re-printing of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series with Chronicles of Conan Volume 12. This trade paperback collects issues #91, and 93 to 100 of the original Conan series as Conan concludes his travels along the Black Coast kingdoms of the south and has to cope with the death of his beloved mate, Belit, Queen of the Black Coast. The Belit saga was certainly the longest of Conan's career, at least as far as comics go, beginning a few years earlier in Conan #57. You ... Read More
