Hither Came Conan is the podcast where I'm talking about Conan, the black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand barbarian.In some episodes I compare the original Robert E. Howard Conan stories with their various comic book adaptions.I'm also looking at the new Conan the Barbarian series from Titan each month as a new issue is released.But mostly, I'm going through each of the old Marvel comics, one issue at a time, starting with Conan the Barbarian #1, published in July of 1970.Episodes release as often as I can put one together.

Hither Came Conan

In 1970, Marvel Comics obtained the license to publish comic books featuring Robert E. Howard's sword-wielding barbarian, Conan.
Soon, Conan the Barbarian would become one of Marvel's most popular comics of the 70's, setting the character on the path of quickly becoming a pop culture icon.
Join me as I talk about how Conan came to Marvel and just basically throw a bunch of information at you.
