Hither  Came Conan - The Frost Giant's Daughter Birthday Remix!
play

02/17/24 • 35 min

One year ago today, on February 17, 2023, I launched Hither Came Conan with an episode in which I had a look at The Frost Giant's Daughter by Robert E. Howard, as well as the various comic book adaptations from Marvel Comics, Dark Horse, and Ablaze.

To celebrate our first year talking about the iconic black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword-in-hand barbarian, I've taken that first episode and gave it a bit of a remix.

Listen to it now for the first time.... again!

Conan, drowning his sorrows in abundant amounts of alcohol, is lured away from his inebriated excursion with the promise of a princely payday for stealing a sacred stone.

That's today as we look at Conan the Barbarian #5: Thrice Marked for Death Part One: The Heist by Jim Zub, Doug Braithwaite, Diego Rodrigues, and Richard Starkings.

This issue was published by Titan Comics on November 22, 2023.

You'll also get a bit of Conan news, information about The Super Secret Steeven Society, and so many bloopers that it will make you wonder how I even manage to function as a part of society much less how I'm able to put an episode out.

Enjoy!
