Conan Comics, by Crom!さんのイラストまとめ

@realarsenalism @BronzeAgeBabies @KissyFacedBrute Big John could rock the sorcery when it was called for.

“They were just toy commercials!” 🙄 Who cares about the motive? They had creativity, originality, and heart. They inspired a generation and taught valuable lessons about heroism, sacrifice, loyalty, friendship, and responsibility. Accuse me of nostalgia, but it was a golden age.

The artwork by Paolo Martinello for the French edition of Robert E. Howard’s “Rogues in the House” is MUCH more to my liking! I look forward to Ablaze getting the opportunity to translate this one into English.

@Ancient0History @Lionman771 They look kind of like knockoffs of the different colored Green Lantern Corps emotional spectrum thing here. Not particularly inspired.

Which pulp author has been better represented on the movie screen in the 21st century? Howard or Burroughs? And what was the best film overall?

I’ll admit that I don’t really like simple, “cartoony” art in Conan. John Buscema didn’t have the hyper-detailed style of Barry Smith, yet Big John managed to fill every panel with life, richness, and texture that made Conan’s world seem real to me, something few ever achieve.

I know some REH purists dislike Red Sonja as she is really a creation of the comics, REH’s Red SonYa notwithstanding, but I feel the lack of her presence in Conan comics. They’ve tried what I call RS “placeholders.” Dark Horse had Janissa and Marvel is pushing Dark Agnes.

@Lionman771 But...but...I thought. What about...? 😆

Whose comic is this again? The cover says that it’s Conan’s. But once again we see the unfortunate tendency to render Conan to the role of “muscle” while someone else takes the lead. “Come along, Conan. Do as I say, Conan. Good boy, Conan. Don’t think, Conan.” Good art though.
