"This series of graphic novels reprints a collection of Conan comic book stories from the 1970s. Most of the stories inside are comic adaptaions of the original stories of Robert E. Howard, or at least of stories that came from the pens of L. Sprague DeCamp and Lin Carter, who added to the Conan mythos. This first book in the series is the only one to contain totally orignainal material, which is the weakest material in the series. However, these weak spots are balanced by an excellent adaptation of one of Howard's novellas, Red Nails."
"Finally, they're reprinting these old Savage Swords! I learned to read on these bad boys and they still serve as the cornerstone of my comic collection. Now I can round out the run. Nothing is lost in the reprint but the cover as the pages were originally done in black&white. It's amazing to think that John Buscema (my favorite artist) or Barry Windsor-Smith turned out so many pages of detailed pen&ink every two months. And Roy Thomas translates Howard very well. If you think you should read them, then you should waste no time in reading them."
