Book Reviews of Conan Volume 1: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories (Conan (Graphic Novels))
Book Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dark horse have outdid themselves with this outstanding first story arc from their Conan series. The concept of this relaunch is to adapt Robert E. Howard's stories in chronological order while revealing the stories set before and after each, and connecting to the next Robert E. Howard adaptation.
Kurt Busiek respectfully adapts the first story, the Frost Giant's Daughter, while building an epic tale of Conan's first foray out of Cimmieria, subsequent capture by the Hyperborians and escape, setting up the rest of the series while firmly establishing Conan and his world for new readers.
Artist Cary Nord provides some outstanding artwork in the vein of Frank Frazetta's beautiful covers from the 1960's and, coupled with Dave Stewart's coloring, creates a truly unique book.
Some readers were upset that Dark Horse chose to adapt Howard's work rather than continue where the old Marvel series left off, but as great as many of the Marvel adaptations were, some adaptations were not that faithful, or were condenced to fit within a tight one or two issues. Dark Horse have allowed the creative team breathing space to tell their stories and have picked a spot on creative team to bring modern storytelling sensibilties to Robert E. Howard very storng body of Conan work.
Excellent!

Summary of Conan Volume 1: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories (Conan (Graphic Novels))
When the internationally famous barbarian hero returned to comics, with an all-new fresh start by award-winning writer Kurt Busiek (JLA/Avengers, Astro City) and dynamic artists Cary Nord, Thomas Yeates, and Dave Stewart, the result was instant sell-outs and multiple printings to keep up with the demand. Now Conan's earliest adventures are collected in a handsome 192-page collection. Catch all the action and savagery as he wars with the murderous Vanir, meets the Frost Giant's Daughter, and is taken as a slave by the ancient sorcerers of Hyperborea! This top-selling new series faithfully expands on original author Robert E. Howard's literary creation.Fantasy Books
