April 29, 2024 Hither Came Conan 042 - Revisiting Conan Volume One For the First Time
Today, on a very special episode of Hither Came Conan, to wrap up Season Six and our talk about the first seven issues of the Dark Horse Conan run from 2004, I play you some audio from over five years ago in which I'm talking about the very same story, for the first time.
What does Conan Volume One: The Frost Giant's Daughter and Other Stories have to do with G.I. Joe? Well, you're just going to have to listen to the episode to find out.
Also, here in this episode, I uncover the scandalous secret behind the title of the podcast: Hither Came Conan.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!

April 08, 2024 Hither Came Conan 041 - Conan #7 (Dark Horse: 2004)
Conan journeys to Brythunia and, going from village to village, tracks down Sjarl and Einar. What will Conan do with the two men now that he's found them?
The answer may surprise you!
Actually, it shouldn't surprise you at all.
That's today as we look at Conan #7: Blood for Blood by Kurt Busiek, Cary Nord, Thomas Yates, Richard Starkings, and Dave Stewart.
This issue was published by Dark Horse on August 25, 2004.
Oh, and if the Bloopers this week feel like they are full of both rage and F-Bombs, well, that's because they are. Sometimes I just get in a mood.
Enjoy!

February 17, 2024 Hither Came Conan 033 - The Frost Giant's Daughter Birthday Remix!
One year ago today, on February 17, 2023, I launched Hither Came Conan with an episode in which I had a look at The Frost Giant's Daughter by Robert E. Howard, as well as the various comic book adaptations from Marvel Comics, Dark Horse, and Ablaze.
To celebrate our first year talking about the iconic black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword-in-hand barbarian, I've taken that first episode and gave it a bit of a remix.
Listen to it now for the first time.... again!
