“Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars. 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 sandalled feet.”
– The Nemedian Chronicles.

Face Front, True Believers! Mr. Fixit talks about one of his favorite films on upon its 40th anniversary, John Milius’ Conan the Barbarian starring Arnold Strong Schwarzenegger! And because he’s talking to Diabolu Frank, we also have to do a brief biography of Robert E. Howard, publication history of Conan from the pulps to Marvel Comics, 1984’s Conan the Destroyer, 1985’s Red Sonja starring Brigitte Nielsen, 2011’s Conan the Barbarian starring Jason Momoa, and even 2009’s Solomon Kane starring James Purefoy, with related comic books! But definetely not Kull the Conqueror, that humongous flop starring Worst Hercules, because, again, Frank! Stick around for the Mighty Marvel Marvel Mail Bag, touching on D23 announcements! Excelsior!
