Better than Volume 1

Wow. I thought volume 1 was fun to read, but this one tops it. None of my enjoyment was ironic this time; I was sincerely impressed. The art is immaculate, the writing is spot-on, and the entertainment-to-price ratio is extremely favorable! I didn't even notice the few printing glitches that...

savage sword vol2

I enjoyed the book quite well. Anyone familiar with Alfredo Alcalas art and they like his style will enjoy this volume. The stories are done well and the art is nice too.

GREAT STORIES, ART, & VALUE!!

Back during the Seventies Roy Thomas kept the legacy alive of Conan and Robert E. Howard. The book is a tremendous value and a great treasure! All of the stories and art is outstanding. Roy Thomas and John Buscema are my favorite duo! If you can find Conan The Barbarian #275, scarce, which is the...

the best comic ever

What comics do well is fast, abbreviated action. Comics at their best are like a sped-up movie. Good comics are often "cheesy", but in a good way: over-the-top, wildly inventive, no-holds-barred attempts to entertain, to give everything a great b-movie gives, only for a lower price tag and in a...

Masterful Inking

This book is worth the coverprice for the art of Alfredo Alcala alone. When you put his moody, detailed inks over Buscema's action (and ladies), you are looking at a true masterpiece. The only complaint I have about this series so far is it would be cool to get the Kull, Kane, and Sonja stories...

This is the one!

Just about every page in this reprint is a Buscema classic. Most of them are inked by Alcala so you know these are amazing stories. This and the first volume are Marvel, Conan (comics) and Buscema at their best. Amazing classic stories in a very affordable reprint. This is an amazing value at the...

Good pulpy fun, but erratic quality

Like the first volume, this collection represents a very different approach to collecting Marvel's '70s Conan comics than the "Chronicles of Conan" series: rather than a thin volume of recolored and relettered comics on heavy, bright-white paper, this is a fat book printed in black-and-white on...

Conan the Terrific!

The Savage Sword of Conan, Volume TwoDuring the mid 1970's, a new kind of magazine hit the stands. While featuring Conan the Barbarian, a full length, black and white magazine appeared. It seemed to be the same as the Marvel Comic, rascally Roy Thomas still wrote the stories, and stygian...
