[close] This series is TOO addictive---I read this 3rd volume in 2 sittings. This one collects issues no. 25-36 of THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN, originally published as a monthly magazine (these issues from 1977-78).

Among the highlights are the incredible artwork of John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala; the best story is easily the epic 2-issue FRIENDS OF THE FLAME KNIFE / NIGHT OF THE GHOULS, a killer blend of fantasy and horror as everyone's favorite barbarian battles the usual Hyborian-Aged thugs---along with some zombie-like creatures.

On to Volume 4...(!) ( )
