Countdown to Halloween 2010! (P)Raising Kane: "The Blood of the Dragon!"


What's sh-sh-shakin', Groove-ophiles? Here's the one-and-only Roy Thomas/Gil Kane "Tales of the Hyborian Age" back-up for Marvel's Conan the Barbarian (ish 12, September 1971), Groove-ophiles! How could Ol' Groove deprive ya of the magnificence of this fun and frightening experiment? I can't! Oh, and I love the fact that Roy and Gil actually narrate the tale--almost as much as I love the Kane/Palmer/Wrightson inking combo. You're gonna dig..."The Blood of the Dragon!"

  1. Those "Diverse Hands" that inked the story? I see Berni Wrightson and Tom Palmer in there, at least.
