British Savage Sword Of Conan





I know this UK comic on Conan was a flop in 1975 (black'n white guts and poor print'n may have added to the ho-humness), but some of the colors on these Barry Smith covers are awesome

    This Marvel UK comic lasted for 18 weekly issues, but their early '90s Conan The Adventurer fortnightly only managed 3. They had better luck with their Conan monthly though, which lasted 93 issues (8 years).

    And when the Conan weekly comic folded it merged with the UK Avengers weekly comic for a while so we had a good run of his classic comic strips (including a short run as a Conan pocket book ).

      Truly appreciate yours and Kid's insights. I will look for all these now that I know, if for nothing else for the amaz'n coloring on the covers
