hatelull posted:I would recommend the Savage Sword of Conan titles first. These were black and white magazine format and had superior artwork in my opinion to the regular monthly Marvel line. A lot of the stories were lifted straight from Howard ("The Tower of the Elephant" was in November '77) and aside from Conan there were often cool poems, quick and dirty shorts, and occasionally Kull or Solomon Kane would get a feature. Also, I think because SSOC was a magazine format and didn't have to conform to the Comics Code meaning you get way more violence and nudity for that time. My local variety store kept Savage Sword on the upper shelves of the magazine racks, alongside Playboy and Oui. I remember being around 12 and reaching up to grab a copy and the store owner clearing his throat very loudly.
