The Rise and Fall (and Return) of Savage Sword of Conan

Dive deep into the legacy of Savage Sword of Conan—one of the most iconic sword-and-sorcery comic series ever created. From its origins at Marvel Comics to its modern revival under Titan Comics, this video explores all three major runs of the legendary black-and-white magazine. I break down what made the original run so special, led by writers like Roy Thomas and brought to life by legendary artists like John Buscema. Then we take a look at the 2019 revival and its strengths and weaknesses, before diving into the newest era from Titan Comics, featuring creators like Jim Zub and artists such as Roberto de la Torre. From gritty pulp storytelling to modern reinterpretations, how has Savage Sword of Conan changed over time—and which version truly captures the spirit of Conan the Barbarian? If you're a fan of classic fantasy, comic book history, or the brutal world of the Hyborian Age, this is a deep dive you won’t want to miss. By CROM! Hit subscribe! Wanna watch more Conan content?
