![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I for one was glad to see that there wasn’t a slip over the cover as I find them to be an enormous pain in the arse. It’s an impressive book, a heavy, black, mock-leather cover with a gold leaf style inlay. Nonetheless, when the opportunity came along to get this book, I jumped at that chance. Eventually I got around to reading a couple of the stories from somewhere, The Tower of the Elephant was my first I think and while ably told I didn’t get the same grip of fascination and excitement I got from the other pulps. I got into pulp via John Carter and Cthulu though, rather than Conan or The Man of Bronze and somehow Conan pretty much passed me by, except for the Arnold film. Like a lot of people it seems these days, I like pulp. This is what it says on the tin, a full on compilation of everything Conan behind a nice looking inlaid cover. This is it, all your Conan stories all in one spot accompanied by an able and long article on the author, a nice long introduction to the world of Hyboria and a smattering of black and white art – both endpieces and plates – to bring some of the old feel of the mystery magazines back in. ![]()
