Conan: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Savage Barbarian by Todd McFarlane, Roy Thomas

krismoon's review against another edition

4.0

The history of Conan is amazing. Perhaps not as extensive as Tolkien's created alter-universe, but definitely more congruent and ... well... interesting.

And for the record, our dear governor was CREATED namely for fulfiling his destiny of being the only man who can/could be Conan

A real disappointment. While there was plenty of artwork throughout the book, taken from Frazetta, and the Conan comic books, as well as other sources, it was impossible to follow the text, or the thread of Conan's life. I realize that Howard didn't write all the Conan stories with a clear biography in mind. But in trying to pull everything together that's ever been written about Conan, from Howard's work to the comic books to the other books written, it turned out to be just one big hodge-podge that was more trouble to read than it was worth.
