Popular Post the blob Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2019 I am inclined to think of all the bws issues as key just because there is not much otherwise in 275 issues. The savage swords, particularly the first 50 issues, are lovely books. Grib, Joshua33, Key Largo Comics and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The savage swords, particularly the first 50 issues, are lovely books. I agree, 1 - 24 are definitely key, even though Brunner did the cover for 17 (I think). I believe Thulsa Doom, Thoth Amon, Belit, and Zula are important Characters as well, so I'd throw in the aforementioned... (Two Adams Covers 37 and 49) (Thulsa Doom... Kull 3, MOP 16) And add (Thoth Amon, Annual 2 full) (Belit first 58, death 100) (Zula 84) The 2 Adam's covers could be argued. But the other 3 characters are crucial.

It's actually Conan 58. Belit absolutely does not appear in this issue at all. Not even in a cameo. All Conan does is mention her name [once], along with Valeria and Red Sonja, in one word balloon as he reminisces about the women he's paired up with in the past. She's never drawn or delved into any further than that. What GS Conan #1 should be famous for is part #1 of the epic Hour of the Dragon drawn by Gil Kane. 100% Agree - not sure why Overstreet doesn't fix obvious mistakes like this one - #58 is a screaming bargain as this will get fixed eventually but I guess all those GS 1 slabs will still be wrong Readcomix and Joshua33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a 58 in 9.4 White for my run, but I was happy to snag this MJV in 9.6 as a backup. Its the first slabbed variant I've seen. Does anybody know how common or rare these are?

Savage Tales 2 and 3 for the classic BWS 'Red Nails' story. There was a Treasury Edition with Red Nails in colour. Great story. Also it had (I believe) a new cover illustration - BWS going Frazetta.

I am not an IA guy ( way to rich for my blood) However, The Conan MT #23 was the first comic I ever owned, so when the cover came up at HA a few years ago I let some of my double keys go to add it to the collection.

On a side note the sword was not part of the original drawing and was only added later by Sinnott due to a request by Roy Thomas. If you really look it seems a little out of place or off angle.
