Conan The Barbarian

Conan the Barbarian is a fictional sword and sorcery hero that originated in pulp fiction magazines and has since been adapted to books, comics, several films (including Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer), television programs (cartoon and live-action), video games, role-playing games and other media. The character was originally created in 1932 via a series of fantasy stories published in Weird Tales magazine. Hollywood is dusting Conan off for another cinematic comeback.

Conan the Barbarian (1970 series) is based on the pulp hero who doesn't have any invulnerabilities. He can't turn into a ball of flame and he can't communicate with fish. He's just a guy, a really strong, ferocious guy. If you were ever stranded alone in the New York City subway at 3 a.m. during the crime-riddled 1970's, he's the guy you'd want at your side.

Like other comics whose run started after 1967, the cost of the set is pretty reasonable. And, since Conan isn't a super-hero in the sense of Spider-Man and Superman, the cost of the books is a bit lower than a comparable set of super-hero issues.

When you get tired of super-heroes flying, stopping bullets with their teeth, or emitting death rays with their eyes, and you yearn for the days when men were men, then this is the comic for you.
