I recommend reading Howard's short stories first (the comics will spoil his original stories since they are often adaptations). Then start working through the classic The Savage Sword of Conan (1974) comics.

Solomon Kane is a great character, I recommend reading his stories here. After the major success with Conan, REH didn't see any reason to keep writing Solomon Kane.

Hell yes. I got this from Amazon for my Kindle:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0741VJC4D/ref=cm\_sw\_em\_r\_mt\_dp\_U\_vkpfFb0168ND4

And also the Chaykin/Mignola comics.

Leiber's a fun writer and like with Howard, you can really see the influence these stories had much later on D&D, etc.

I can answer a couple of these at least:

1: AFAIK no, Solomon Kane/El Borak at least is in their own worlds. Dark Agnes is written into a few more recent Conan comics, not sure about other publications.

4: Robert Jordan's Conan Chronicles and Further Conan Chronicles were very good.

5: The Tower of the Elephant or Queen of the Black Coast

I've been reading them on kindle

Sagas of Conan: Conan the Swordsman, Conan the Liberator, Conan & the Spider God https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CGFMS0M?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dp_SE4TY0EN1VFY3TS1WKXJ

Here is the blue ray I have. No wild blueberries scene and the ending with the princess is slightly different. https://www.amazon.com/Conan-Barbarian-Blu-ray-Arnold-Schwarzenegger/dp/B00509KXYO/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=C4SZWXBAZ7OT&keywords=conan+bluray&qid=1670258043&sprefix=conan+blu%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-4

Start with this.

If you don't mind spending money, you might try this book. It's a gorgeous hardcover with all of the REH stories.

The original Robert E. Howard stories are really all you need. Try this if you have a Kindle and want a cheap entry.

Check this collection out, but it used cheap. It's a good start to the original stories. Has some illustrations in it too.

IF its published recently but says its by howard it is likely good. For a while there were editors who made light changes, but since I think the 50s they have all been the original versions. I have this copy and the other 2 volumes in the series which i like a lot.

I just started too, and would recommend Howard's writing which has been put together in a fantastic collected edition-book here; https://www.amazon.ca/Complete-Chronicles-Conan-Robert-Howard/dp/0575077662/ref=asc\_df\_0575077662/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292957702485&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16137952812864418412&hvpone=&hvptwo=&...

Your anatomy and shading, - pretty damn good. The one book I think you would get enormous benefit from is this one: https://www.amazon.com/How-Draw-Comics-Marvel-Way/dp/0671530771 Your poses are a little stiff, and I think this will help tremendously.

I found out who made them. https://librivox.org/

These are great if you enjoy hearing Conan being read by Ned Flanders. Terrible. Nothing against Librivox, but this narrator is not suited to the material.

Late response but looks like this upcoming release might be exactly what you’re looking for:

Conan the Barbarian Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years - Queen of the Black Coast https://www.amazon.com/dp/1302929550/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YW2DHAQ2J1F4Y3RFQSTX

You can get the book here and you can also get it here.

Not sure if you’re interested in the comic writer’s process too, but Roy Thomas has written a ton about his process plotting the original comics: https://www.amazon.com/Barbarian-Life-Literary-Biography-Conan/dp/1683901738/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=the+barbarian+life&qid=1613789023&sr=8-4

I misunderstood...the marvel epic collections are smaller, but complete runs of the dark horse material. They are paperback.

https://www.amazon.com/Conan-Chronicles-Epic-Collection-Darksome/dp/1302915908/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=conan+dark+horse+epic+collection&qid=1598100709&sr=8-3

The Dak Horse run, starting in 2004. After Marvel reacquired the license, the republished it in their Epic Collection line.

Here's the first volume: https://www.amazon.com/Conan-Chronicles-Epic-Collection-Darksome/dp/1302915908

I'm a big fan of the 2d20 Rpg books, as they take information directly from REH, not the the other authors. They actually employed REH historians while making the books. Very easy to read, and a great source of all things Conan.

Only in the some of the expanded books (i.e. more RPG aspects of the game, like actual dungeons/bosses) do they create places.

Check out Amazon, they have tons of Conan 2d20 books, usually under $20 each. The main RPG book, An Age Undreamed Of is around 35$ (USD), but comes in around 400 pages. The quality of all the 2d20 books is top notch.

An Age Undreamed Of (Amazon)

Why not link directly to amazon instead of a shitty tumblr blog??
