--Previous Message-- : Ive re-read some of the darkhorse trades, (boy : i wish they put the covers in there) and : some of the newer Busiek stuff...awesome..if : Carey Nord isnt one of the best Conan : artists of all time i dont know...he's dang : close and thats a lofty statement. He's worthy of the role he's been given that's for sure! (I still like Buscema more than the rest, but art is very subjective.) : : : Anyway My ultimate prize thusfar is reading : the Howard original books for the first : time...what a treasure they are...I was : amazed how Lovecraftian (or how Howard : lovecraft is)...I am about half way first : the first major compilation of tales and its : the best read I've made in years. Howard and Lovecraft were contemporaries and friends as well. They read each other's stories and wrote letters to each other critiquing the work. So I'd say they influenced each other. Be sure to get the other two books that finish all of the Howard Conan stories! (The Bloody Sword of Conan, & The Conquering Sword of Conan) Each book is better than the last. Kev
