Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. One of the few good reference books written on the Sullen Northman. With this book we get to see the many aspects and personalities that multiple writers have given us for our hero. Publication history and lots of good meaty things to slice into. Reminds us that Conan is not just a character that Arnold portrayed. But instead a conflicted and brooding man who knows his destiny but constantly clashes with it. Much more than a big guy wearing a loin cloth in a much bigger world than we ever thought. no reviews | add a review
Since his debut in 1932, Conan the Barbarian has been the preeminent sword and sorcery hero. Robert E. Howard created the genre with his original stories; Frank Frazetta's definitive Conan book covers set the standard for dynamic fantasy artwork; Roy Thomas, with Barry Windsor-Smith and later John Buscema, used the character to push the boundaries of comic-book adventure; and Arnold Schwarzenegger launched an amazing film career with his iconic portrayal of the barbarian.

Relatively complete, though he seems to skip right over the Jason Momoa Conan movie, interestingly enough.
Filled with gorgeous art. ( )
