The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian by Robert E. Howard

The stories are presented in chronological order, liberally illustrated by Mark Schultz, and it comes with a lot of bonus material that I, to be totally honest, paged through instead of read properly. If you’re a Conan fan, this volume-which is followed by The Bloody Crown of Conan and The Conquering Sword of Conan-is a fantastic edition to have, if you don’t already have the original Howard stories in some other version. There’s plenty of violence, buxom maidens, and cosmic horrors to go around, as well as bonus content for any true Conan fan. We meet Conan as king, as thief, and sullen youth, his almost feral strength pitted against civilization and the one thing he truly fears-the supernatural. Howard’s infamous barbarian, stories that almost single-handedly invented the sword and sorcery genre. The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian collects the first twelve short stories featuring Robert E. After casting around for a good starting place, I found this, the first in a three book collection of the original short stories, and settled in for some swashbuckling. But I thought it would be a good idea to get, well, a good idea of who Conan actually is in the original stories. It looks like it’s going to be satisfyingly cheesy and violent, and Momoa’s Conan voice is awesome. Howard’s Conan stories was because of the upcoming film adaptation starring Jason Momoa. I’ll be completely honest-the reason I wanted to read some of Robert E.
