Book Reviews of The Savage Sword of Conan, Vol. 1
Book Review: ...Before the Oceans Drank Atlantis
Summary: 5 Stars
I have wanted, wished and waited for something like this to come along! I grew up in the 80's collecting 'Savage Sword'. To a mid-teen boy it was the best stuff ever!
This collection gives fans an opportunity to collect and read all of Conan's SS adventures from the beginning. The two downsides are:
1) The reduced picture size. (SSOC was larger as a magazine)
2) None of the "extras" were included. (Often there were Red Sonja, Kull or Solomon Kane stories at the end of each SS. It would have been great to keep those attached.
Overall though, I love this series and intend to buy all of them that they make!
Summary of The Savage Sword of Conan, Vol. 1
In the mid 1970s following the colossal success of Conan the Barbarian, Roy Thomas helped expand the universe of Conan to showcase further stories and the talents of some of the comics industry's best with the equally popular Savage Sword of Conan magazine. Now, for the first time in over thirty years, these primal tales, featuring Robert E. Howard's most popular character, are available in this, the first in a series of massive trade paperbacks, collecting all Savage Sword Conan stories beginning with issue one. Included in this volume are tales by Roy Thomas, featuring the breathtaking art of such legends as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Alfredo Alcala, Jim Starlin, Al Milgrom, Pablo Marcos, Walter Simonson and more. But that's not all. Also included in this tome are Conan's few appearances in the title Savage Tales - for the complete Conan collection!Science Fiction & Fantasy Books
