Conan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4191 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/QOTBC-VOL-1-HC-V2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/QOTBC-VOL-1-HC-V2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/QOTBC-VOL-1-HC-V2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Ah yes.\u00a0 Conan.\u00a0 First appearing in Weird Tales of December 1932, there isn\u2019t a single person who hasn\u2019t at least heard of Conan the Cimmerian.\u00a0 From the pulps, to the early Roy Thomas Marvel stories, to Dark Horse and beyond, there is no small smattering of our favorite Barbarian turned king.\u00a0 Savage Sword Of Conan Magazine was one of my favorites growing up as a kid (Yeah, yeah, mature readers, my dad didn\u2019t know the difference and just thought I\u2019d like the covers) and growing up as a child in the era of 80s action movies and Schwarzenegger, the character struck a chord.<\/p>\n<p>Some stories I would recommend from the Roy Thomas years are the adaptations of Red Nails and Queen of the Black Coast.\u00a0 One of my favorites I wish they would collect into a graphic novel is \u201cThe Horn of Azoth\u201d which was the comic version of Roy Thomas\u2019 original story for what eventually became the movie Conan the Destroyer.\u00a0 It\u2019s a lot different, so if you are iffy on that movie, try the graphic novel. It\u2019s much better.<\/p>\n<p>One set of Conan I highly recommend is The Cimmerian, published by Ablaze.\u00a0 These are English adaptations of the French licensed adaptions of Robert E Howard\u2019s original pulp stories.\u00a0 As a bonus, the Hardcovers print both the adaptation AND the original pulp story.\u00a0 Highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2. The Shadow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4190 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51CFkmpNvJL._AC_SY1000_-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51CFkmpNvJL._AC_SY1000_-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51CFkmpNvJL._AC_SY1000_.jpg 327w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/>\u201cWho knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?\u00a0 The Shadow knows\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First published in The Shadow Magazine April 1931, in the story \u201cThe Living Shadow\u201d we are introduced to the legendary character himself.\u00a0 Originally more of a force of Justice working through his \u201cAgents\u201d, Walter B Gibson\u2019s (Under the pen name Maxwell Grant) character has evolved much over the years.\u00a0 From the early radio broadcasts (where he was more of a narrator or Grecian Choir) to the early pulp stories, to the Comics, to the Orson Wells radio show there is no format this character has not appeared.\u00a0 An obvious inspiration for the early Batman stories, it\u2019s a shame that the character currently does not have a title in circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Some I would recommend are some of the pulp reprints (from Sanctum Press, unfortunately now defunct) would be the aforementioned \u201cThe Living Shadow\u201d which introduces us to the character and \u201cGangdom\u2019s Doom\u201d which is The Shadow vs the Chicago Mafia.<\/p>\n<p>Comic wise, there is so much to choose from.\u00a0 I love the old 70\u2019s issues with art by Mike Kaluta, arguably one of the best artists to ever grace the character.\u00a0 Another story, originally published in old Graphic Novel format by Marvel, is \u201cThe Shadow 1941\u201d by Denny O\u2019Neil and (again) Mike Kaluta.\u00a0 If you are looking for something more modern however, \u201cThe Many Deaths of Margo Lane\u201d or even the crossover with Green Hornet (both from Dynamite) are fantastic reads. DC also did a Batman\/The Shadow crossover a few years back, which instantly reminded me of the Animated Series episode \u201cThe Grey Ghost\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>3. Solomon Kane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4189 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/513sd7tW3qL._AC_SY780_-195x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/513sd7tW3qL._AC_SY780_-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/513sd7tW3qL._AC_SY780_.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/>Robert E Howard\u2019s other Pulp \u201cHero\u201d.\u00a0 A globe wandering Puritan in the 16th century, dispersing \u201cGods Wrath\u201d at the point of a rapier and flintlock.\u00a0 Sadly, much less published work with this character and many story fragments (like Death\u2019s Black Riders), this is a character that ultimately has more dimension that Conan, and a much different morality.\u00a0 Kane has appeared and had adaptations, if quite a few in Conan and Savage Sword series, as well as his own mini-series from both Marvel and Dark Horse. Also, there is a really awesome tabletop game that was released by Mythic Games a year or two ago.<\/p>\n<p>As for recommendations, Dark Horse really knocked it out of the park with the two books they released Solomon Kane, based on the afore mentioned story fragments, \u201cThe Castle of the Devil\u201d and \u201cDeath\u2019s Black Riders\u201d.\u00a0 Currently out of print, but looking like Solomon Kane is finding a new home along with Conan at Titan.\u00a0 Fingers crossed for some more goodness to come from upcoming releases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>4. John Carter of Mars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4188 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/John_Carter_Warlord_of_Mars_1-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"184\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/John_Carter_Warlord_of_Mars_1-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/John_Carter_Warlord_of_Mars_1.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\" \/>Originally written by Edgar Rice Burroughs (alongside Tarzan of the Apes), Carter is another who has crossed publishers and formats. Aside from the (badly marketed and poorly promoted) Disney movie release (which was actually pretty good if you\u2019re familiar with the material), John Carter has been published primarily by Marvel and Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel had a really good series in the late \u201870s for the character, however most people will be more familiar with Dynamite\u2019s releases although they tend to focus more on Dejah Thoris (because Dynamite knows what they do) and less on our Warlord of Mars.\u00a0 As far as recs, I would say stick with the old Marvel series or the recent adaptation of Princess of Mars that they released to coincide with the movie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>5. Elric of Melnibone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4187 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51rh1PHW30L._AC_SY780_-223x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51rh1PHW30L._AC_SY780_-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.grahamcrackers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/51rh1PHW30L._AC_SY780_.jpg 372w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/>Probably the Sword and Sorcery title I recommend more than any other and have had people come back and say \u201cthat was awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael Moorcock\u2019s Elric, originally published in Science Fantasy in June 1961, has arguably some of the biggest inspiration on modern fantasy than any other character.\u00a0 A sickly Albino Emperor of the kingdom of Melnibone, he becomes bound to the sentient sword Stormbringer, an agent of Chaos who will force Elric to kill even those closest to him (this is where D&amp;D\u2019s hex-blade concept comes from) and as a character, is a HUGE inspiration for Geralt of Rivea from The Witcher (which ripped off the \u201cWhite Wolf\u201d moniker, but that\u2019s another rant).\u00a0 The character has been the subject of music (fun trivia, author Michael Moorcock used to hang out with Lemmy and Hawkwind) and appeared on many album covers (Thanks Cirith Ungol).<\/p>\n<p>Elric\u2019s first comic appearance was in the European comic book Spirits #1 (1968) drawn by French artist Philippe Druillet.\u00a0 More well known for his second appearance in Conan the Barbarian #14 in the story \u201cA Sword Called Stormbringer\u201d by Roy Thomas and drawn by the legendary Barry Windsor Smith.\u00a0 This is where most people were likely introduced to the character.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my recommendations for Elric would be much of the Pacific Comics run by P. Craig Russell, currently available as \u201cThe Moorcock Library: ELRIC of Melnibone\u201d in Hardcover from Titan.\u00a0 Also distributed in America by Titan, like The Cimmerian above, there are English adaptations by the French editions by Julien Blondel, which has had Four Hardcover installments released at this point (also available in box set).\u00a0 The Blondel editions have arguably some of my favorite art for this character, ever.\u00a0 Start with The Ruby Throne and Stormbringer.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there are many other pulp heroes like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and The Phantom (fun 90s movie with Billy Zane too), but if I had to narrow down my favorites, it\u2019s definitely the ones above.\u00a0 Not bad for nearly 90-year-old characters that have crossed from one medium to another.\u00a0 If you are looking for some classic well written and adapted tales, you can never go wrong with these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who knows me can tell you I am a big fan of old \u201cPulp\u201d magazine stories.\u00a0 Some of the older characters had huge impact on the early Super Heroes of the late 1930s.\u00a0 From Adventure (Doc Samson Man of Bronze), to Crime Noir (Sam Spade Detective), to Horror (Bloch &amp; Lovecraft!) there are so [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-article"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 -
