(1) Whose Robert E. Howard adaptation do you prefer?
“The Frost-Giant’s Daughter” - Marvel’s Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith’s or Dark Horse’s Kurt Busiek and Cary Nord’s?
I’m curious. Who out there would say that my account has had some impact on your decision to buy a Conan comic book?

“But not all men seek rest and peace; some are born with the spirit of the storm in their blood, restless harbingers of violence and bloodshed, knowing no other path....” - Robert E. Howard, “The People of the Black Circle”

@mega_shepard Solomon Kane and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
The AoC minis lacked the flavor and tone of the Hyborian setting. It was bland YA fantasy with too many modern colloquialisms and vernacular. The characters didn’t match the setting. Dark Agnes is from 16th century France. Get a feel for REH’s language and write her in context.
