Message: [QUOTE="Octopus, post: 252585, member: 4"] Oh Jesus, you just unlocked a memory on that one. I entirely forgot about that bizarre story until just now, somehow. [I]"And you'll never guess that it's all the same guy!"[/I] I went down a weird rabbit hole last night of reading through digital scans of Black Belt magazine which was unintentional comedy and cringe gold, then somehow ended up on Savage Sword of Conan as one does, I guess. Read through the first five original issues or so, the story adaptations of the actual Howard written stories were fantastic of course; I particularly liked the Mistress of Death adaptation from the first issue, 'Curse of the Undead-Man'. The original story was unfinished by Howard himself (it was finished by another author), so they took a lot of liberties with it to say the least. Neither Red Sonja or Conan were in the original story, and they both replace the actual original main character of Dark Agnes de Chastillon who I only learned about a few weeks ago in a strange sort of coincidence. The Dark Agnes stories only got published in the 70's, 40 years after Howard's death, so makes sense why I'd never really heard much of them. Anyway, the story as an adaptation is pretty bad considering it's barely one, but that Buscema art? Hell yeah.
