This is magnificent. Surely the greatest video about this story that will ever be made. Bravo!

By Crom! I don't know about that, but THANK you! Coming from you, that's a tremendous compliment. And don't call me Surely.

That story, from that book no less, was the first I've read of Howard's Conan. That verse at the beginning totally delighted and surprised me. I was hooked immediately. And have devoured as many Conan stories as I could ever since, By Crom!

Indeed! I wish Howard had used the verse device more.

Great Robert E Howard content! Oddly enough Morgan Freeman did read that introduction for the 2011 Conan the Barbarian film.

I'm still waiting for the William Shatner version. Glad you enjoyed the video!

THAT is an impressive video. Thanks for the shout out. I got a big kick out of that original illustration from Weird Tales; it reminded me of the artwork in the early days of Dungeons and Dragons. I also enjoyed the review of that comic book version of the story. Too cool. Are you doing a video about "The Frost Giants Daughter" next?

@jscottphillips503 10 месяцев назад

THANKS, Randy! Yes, early illustrations-especially if they are seldom reproduced-are often unexpectedly intriguing. I'm not all that familiar with early D&D artwork, but can see what you mean. Those prototypes usually come from somewhere! And yes, I happened to still have my original copy of the Conan Annual #2, so I felt duty-bound to include it to be a more complete art review for "The Phoenix on the Sword." I doubt I will have time to make a video for "The Frost Giant's Daughter" even though I had planned on it. I have a houseguest coming in for the next couple weeks, so won't have time to do a proper video, since they take awhile to do the due-diligence research. Not only that, but I would want to include the Marvel Comics art for that as well, and I don't have a copy of that. The original comic and it's the Essentials reprint are both crazy expensive, and even the more inexpensive reprints wouldn't get to me by in time if I ordered through eBay or something. I should have planned ahead better! BUT ... whether you know it or not, you've just given me a great idea for a future video, if not a little series! I'll keep you posted once I put a plan together. So, THANKS!

Another fantastic video from you, really enjoyed the artwork. I really have very few preconceived notions of the Conan world having only seen the Schwarzenegger films many years ago. I suspect it is a greater hole in my fantasy reading than previously considered. I’m digging through Malazan at the moment and think Conan may well influence that strongly. Keep up the good work! 😁

@jscottphillips503 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I need to read more Conan myself AND I'm not familiar with Malazan. So, I've got some homework to do.

Yep, I made the mistake of reading a Sprague de Camp Conan edition (review up on my channel) I didn't expect to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the last three stories in Conan the Freebooter. So I will be reading some more Robert E. Howard in the near future.

As will I! Thanks for watching!
