Remember when Kevin Maguire drew Conan the Barbarian?
Well if you don't then you're about to find out.
I'll be posting two stories, including the Maguire one (first) and one about a mysterious bitch that Conan meets (second).

And that does it for this story.
Both of these stories are from Dark Horse's (EXCELLENT) anthology series Robert E. Howard's Savage Sword.
I wasn't planning on posting anything else originally, but now I think I might try to track down the Bruce Timm story from Kurt Busiek's run. Or just anyone else can post Conan in this thread if they like.

Thanks a lot, I like Conan comics.
I always thought Conan and John MacClane were very similar characters. They're both straight-forward guys who the grand schemes of their crafty enemies with cunning and brute force, they're needed but never wanted and go frequently underestimated and underappreciated by those around them, and no matter how many times they save the day they always find themselves back to square one in the next adventure.

While not an exact adaptation, this story reads as a very clear homage to the Le Camp story "Conan and the Ice Worm".

Chuck Dixon used to even compare The Punisher to "Conan with a gun". Much of the modern action hero template is influenced/inspired by pulp heroes and Robert E. Howard's characters in particular.
If you guys wanna just discuss Conan or dump Conan art or whatever that's cool.

The Punisher is the one character I would not compare to Conan. Far too pathological.

Sweet!

He even titled one of his Punisher arcs as "Barbarian with a Gun".
