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
