Conan: The Phenomenon Paperback – October 1, 2013

I love Conan and the barbarian king has been a part of my life for more than 40 years. Sammon presents a beautifully illustrated, comprehensive history of author Robert E. Howard and the fierce adventurer he created.This is a large book with lots of sidebars that examine Conan's place in literature, comics and, of course, movies. It contains large reproductions of some of the most dynamic illustrations from the numerous books and comics and those alone are worth the price of the book.

So you think you want to know more about Conan and you're looking around for the best book information and artistic wise. Well look no further. Your search is over.This book tells of Conan from thoughts, to schetches, to artistic creations. It's all here. I believe there's no doubt you're going to enjoy and drink in as much about Conan as you can handle.I received a very good deal on my book.

Excellent book on (maybe) the greatest pulp character of all time. Sometimes borders a little on the side of praising REH too much, but generally a factual account of things.

Excellent coffee table book for Conan and REH fans about the coming of the Cimmerian, especially focusing on the other types of media such as TV, movies etc.

Great book with even better art and information in one volume. Conan fans will love it.

This is a very colorful chronology of conan throughout history that I enjoyed very much. If you are Conan fan this is a must have.

I'm only a couple of chapters in but it's turning out to be a real coffee table page-turner. Fantastic job by the author! About as comprehensive as a normal fan could want, Anoraks might pick holes....

One of the best Conan overviews I've come across.

A very good celebration of Conan in print and art.well illustrated , with full page prints from Frank Frazetta and some more recent artists

Brilliant illustration and interesting and informative text, what more could you want. Price excellent as well, well made book.

A necessity for all Conan fans. Great articles, amazing artworks and history. An asset to all who enjoy the works of Howard and Frazetta.

Splendida guida a Conan made in Dark horse. La cosa che colpisce maggiormente é la veste grafica, con immagini enormi e a colori. Anche i contenuti non scherzano con una bella miscellanea d'informazioni. La scrittura risulta semplice e accessibile anche per chi come il sottoscritto non padroneggia un grande inglese.
