Brian48 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Pretty awesome stuff. The typewriter in that second page looks way out of place without the context of the story, but it still looks great. I'm assuming this was told in flashback from a modern perspective. I only have the first trade of Dark Horse's Hour of Dragon and don't remember seeing that.

Theagenes Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It's Robert E. Howard's famous Underwood No. 5 typewriter. That's actually what this page so cool imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Anyone catch that final $2200+ winning bid on that Conan 9.6 over at CL? Has this book ever sold for this high in 9.6 before? Hope this is a sign Conan popularity is finally coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm currently working on a full run of Conan the Barbarian. And no, none of them are hard to get and most are pretty cheap. I only have a few graded copies. I imagine once I'm done with the run that I might start upgrading individual copies when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah, there's piece missing from the bottom of the cover, but this is still one of the nicest raw copies I've found ever. Can't complain about the price either. Snapped it up as soon as I saw it. Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 OK. Not hi-grade and the camera pic is , but they're still in pretty good shape. Nice readers. Loved these TPBs back in the day. I think I'll pursue the 7 book set in better next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian48 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Gotta find excuses to keep this thread alive . Hoping to close out 2014 by completing my raw run of BWS Conans (completed the hi-grade slabbed run around this same time last year). Anyway, most of these came in just before and after the holidays. Short an upgrade to my FR/VG copy of #12 and I should receive #11 and #8 by tomorrow, but otherwise I've completed my run of companion readers to my slabbed books.

wombat Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Very nice. I've started to lose steam putting together a full set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian48 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Very nice. I've started to lose steam putting together a full set. I've sort put myself on the track for that, but haven't decided if I really want to commit. That's a lot of books and admittedly, the reading quality did go down towards the end. I have about 60-70 different books from the regular run already and about 50-60 from SSOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm reading the original Conan books and kudos to Roy Thomas for his adaptations of those stories. That's not easy to do and he changed things perfectly to fit the change of medium. Albert Thurgood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 OK, not entirely Conan, but there's definitely REH sprinkled in there. I've heard of this catalog that BWS put out in the '70s, but never actually saw one. Everything I've heard seemed to indicate that the catalog itself was very impressive art book. It is indeed. Got this off eBay for $10 on the cheap. mtlevy1 and Artboy99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
