A VERY BRIEF HISTORY OF CONAN COMIC BOOKS

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.

Enjoy!

The music used for the theme song in this episode is Conan The Destroyer: Main Title/Riders Of Taramis as performed by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by Nic Raine

THE SHOW

“Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.”

― Robert E. Howard

Come explore the Hyborian Age and tread the jeweled thrones of Earth with your host, Steeven Orr, as he takes a look at the adventures of Conan of Cimmeria - the black-haired, sullen-eyed barbarian - one comic book issue at a time.

From the Marvel Comics series that began in 1970, to the currently-being-published series from Titan Comics, and everything in between.

Episodes release every Monday.

THE MAN

Steeven R. Orr lives as a recluse with his wife, three children, dog, and two cats somewhere in the hills of Eastern Kansas.

When he's not helping with homework, or running errands, or paying bills, or working, or spending time with his family, or sleeping, or eating, or using the bathroom, or writing, Steeven likes to do a little podcasting.
