Product Description:
Conan's phenomenal popularity in the early comics series Conan the Barbarian would soon reach new heights thanks to a supplementary publication whose very name would come to represent quality in epic-fantasy storytelling - The Savage Sword of Conan! These pulp tomes would become an inspiration to generations of Conan fans, containing some of the best adaptations and pastiches of Robert E. Howard's work ever to be seen in sequential form.

Rating: - EXCELLENT STORIES,ART & GREAT VALUE!!
Back during the Seventies Roy Thomas kept the legacy alive of Conan and Robert E. Howard. The book is a tremendous value and a great treasure! All of the stories and art is outstanding. Roy Thomas and John Buscema are my favorite duo! If you can find Conan The Barbarian #275, scarce, which is the last comic (1993)in the series read the last page testimonial by Roy Thomas.

Rating: - to tread the jeweled thrones...
When I was young, mid to late 70's, I would read issue after issue of Savage Sword more than any other comic or magazine. It was my favorite, and I had quite a large number of issues. Unfortunately, I lost my collection in a fire in the late 80's. When I found that Dark Horse was re-printing the issues of Savage Sword as volumes, and that those volumes would be available here at Amazon, I jumped at the opportunity of obtaining and re-reading those amazing stories again.

Rating:  - Conan... the man
This is a good volume - so far. I received it damaged from Amazon, but that has nothing to do with the content. The issue of The Savage Sword of Conan that introduces Red Sonjia is in this one. The art is excellent, although in Black and white and really, there is very little to say about the quality of writing, it's macho, violent, and barbaric fun. Great bathroom reading.
Rating: - Savage Sword of Conan Volume 3
Robert E. Howard fans will really enjoy this publication. It is a compilation of comics from the 70s and is a faithful reproduction of the Howard stories. The art is excellent. All in all a very enjoyable read.
