Presenting more of the celebrated Roy Thomas/John Buscema Conan the Barbarian run, as well as a special guest artist appearance by Sal Buscema! All featuring completely re-mastered color; all proving once again why Conan is the greatest and most savage Epic Fantasy character of all time. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It's all downhill from hereAfter the departure of the brilliant Barry Windsor Smith, Marvel's "Conan the Barbarian" reached its artistic peak during the "Queen of the Black Coast" story arc which began with issue 58 and ended with issue 100 (COC volumes 8-12). Following the death of Belit, the series started a steady decline which kicked into overdrive with the departure of Roy Thomas. This volume collects the last of the Roy Thomas stories. I wish I could say that he went out with a bang. Sadly, the quality of the stories ... Read More Rating:  - superiorThis entire series of reproductions of the classic Conan comics from the 1960s and 1970s is superior. The details are incredible and the colors are more vivid than in the originals and the paper quality is superior and you will not have to worry about preservation. A great substitute for the originals ( and more affordable). Rating:  - BELIT'S FINAL ADVENTUREDark Horse continues its re-printing of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series with Chronicles of Conan Volume 12. This trade paperback collects issues #91, and 93 to 100 of the original Conan series as Conan concludes his travels along the Black Coast kingdoms of the south and has to cope with the death of his beloved mate, Belit, Queen of the Black Coast. The Belit saga was certainly the longest of Conan's career, at least as far as comics go, beginning a few years earlier in Conan #57. You ... Read More Rating: - Conan's Last Adventures Before BelitDark Horse's reproduction of Roy Thomas's Conan in the form of The Chronicles of Conan are a real festival not just for for Conan fans, but for graphics novels' readers as well. My favorites are the issues that have John Buscema and Ernie Chan art with Roy Thomas's writing (volumes 5 thru 13). Each volume contains around 6 to 8 issues. Volume 7 "The Dweller in the Pool" shows the last adventures of Conan before he is accompanied by Belit. What is more, Red Sonja receives a lion's share as co-star. ... Read More Rating: - More than Just Sword and Sorcery: Racial and Sexist Issues in Volume 11In Volume 11 of The Chronicles of Conan, the reproduction by Dark Horse of the classic Roy Thomas graphic fiction run, Conan is more than his usual barbarian. Accompanied by Belit, the she-pirate, he ventures into untrodden lands around Stygia, and meets with a heavier dose of sorcery than most other volumes. What I find interesting here is the social undertones of the plots and characters. In "The Sorceress and The Swamp" we get a clear hint at Africa. The soroceror Toroa is the black tyrant who terrorizes ... Read More
