Conan
AuthorRobert E. Howard
ISBN0441116302
Aaaaah...Conan!

I struggled with my star rating for Conan because, despite any mitigating factors, I really love the character of Conan, particularly in the hands of his progenitor, Robert E. Howard.

Howard had a fiercely creative mind and a burning work ethic that enabled him to...
Conan, Vol. 1: The Frost Giant's Daughter and Other Stories
AuthorKurt Busiek
ISBN1593073011
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...
Conan the Buccaneer
AuthorLin Carter
ISBN0441115853
More bad writing from De Camp and Carter. Chronologically, Conan The Buccaneer takes place before Conan Of The Isles, but was written after. This one is marginally better than Conan Of The Isles but still pretty rough. At least there’s no scuba gear.

That’s all I’m going to say about the...

ISBN0765340216
With the beautiful and fierce Isparana at his side, Conan must cross a brutal and deadly desert in order to deliver their precious cargo-a magical amulet known as the Eye of Erlik. But rather than collecting untold riches for their rare treasure, they are betrayed by a ruthless tyrant and his evil mage.

Conan is back, and at the top of his form!

Conan the Invincible
AuthorRobert Jordan
ISBN0812542258
Like many pastiches, there are some good bits here and there, but it's certainly not perfect.

We have lizard men, evil sorcerers, and a couple of love interests (one of which is pretty bad ass in her own right) for our hero and his mighty thews to manhandle in various ways. I also liked how it takes...

Conan the Defiant
AuthorSteve Perry
ISBN0812542738
Reading a Conan book is always a joyful bit of male, mind-candy. Reading one written by Steve Perry is just a hoot. I have to applaud this book for several fun things. First, I give it my award for best use of spiders in a fantasy novel. Second, it gets my award for best use of sympathetic, hot-bod zombies....
