I guess Roy's been to...Hey there!<br /> I guess Roy's been too busy? I know he's working on a all new Conan story for darkhorse next year. I believe it's going to be a new mini or on going series. Celebrating Marvel's Conan comic series 40th Anniversary. Who is drawing it, I have no idea, we can only hope it'll be Barry Windsor Smith. I know he's been working on a book called Monsters but that's all I know.Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-84598231888439674662009-08-31T20:57:13.837-04:002009-08-31T20:57:13.837-04:00Oh, yeah, Ol' Groove's got those Dark Hors...Oh, yeah, Ol' Groove's got those Dark Horse trades, Mike!

Thanks for posting...Hey Groovy one!<br /> Thanks for posting these beautiful splashs by Barry Windsor Smith! Man I remember buying these off the rack at my locale corner grocery store. I just recently rebought the entire run reprinted by Dark Horse Comics in graphic novel form. It might not have the cool letter pages & the ads & Stan's soap box/check list. But the quality & coloring is even better than the original!! It really makes Barry's art look even more beautiful!My only small complain is the covers are reprinted but only as tiny pictures. Other than that, if you can't afford the originals any longer. Or want to keep yours in great shape. Then I highly recommend buying the trades. I just wish Barry had done alot more comics. Especially say Thor, Hercules & even Dc's Captain Marvel/Shazam featuring the gods! Also Darkseid & the New Gods also. Congradulations on your blog award as well.Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.com
