What to read

There is a great Conan Series being reprinted by Dark Horse Comics, and I believe the series may yet be running.

I'm sure some people may find this to be old news. So-frikkin'-what! It's what I'm reading right now and it is THE shit.

Historical epics with loads of action have long held my interest: From Lawrence of Arabia to Rob Roy and Master and Commander; From Schwarzenegger's Conan to Walking with Dinosaurs, (I know that's a leap, sfw,) to Highlander; Elseworlds like Gotham by Gaslight and Master of the Future and Metropolis; Barry Windsor-Smith. It's all can do to keep searching for that stronger dose.

Conan was a natural step. I've half a mind to read the original pulps, and I just might. But comics have always intrigued me, obviously, so I tried them first. Once I read the first volume, The Frost Giant's Daughter...it was over, Conan for life. Kurt Busiek's writing is human, engaging, superb. Cary Nord's uninked Pencils, complimented by the beautiful colors of Dave Stewart, are fluid and masterful; he has a true sense of the man. Together these two veteran creators craft a tangible, fantastically believable time long past-- a time that seems, through their eyes, could truly have been.

Testimonial concluded.
