Day 22 of our tour through Conan/Robert E. Howard related material-today we have the 2 volumes of the Barry Windsor Smith Archives collecting the Conan comics he did for Marvel

I'm not a huge fan of the remastered colors on these, but it saves the wear and tear on my early Conan back issues when I want to pull these out to read.

Day 23, featuring the Marvel Index to Conan and the Barbarians published by Pacific Comics in 1976. This indexes not only Conan, but all the other barbarian characters Marvel had published, by Howard and others. Art by Tim Conrad.

For Day 25, I have here a partial set of the 2004 Conan trading card set plus some of the chase cards. I picked this up about a year and a half ago for $5 form my friend's vintage toy store-Roma Collectibles & Toys. It's owner Arron, had just gotten a cancer diagnosis, and I was grabbing a few things to show support, and he had this in his case with some other trading card sets. I was unfamiliar with the set, but it was Conan and only $5 so I added it to my pile of stuff that day.

Now for Day 26, more maps or variant covers, or well variant covers that are maps. These two variant covers feature maps by Francesca Baerald, and are on display above my work desk so I can admire them every day. The Hyborian Age map is the same one that is on the puzzle I featured earlier (I have a poster of it on order as well but it hasn't arrived yet).

It's the final day of Cimmerian September, and for day 30 I am breaking out my copies of the 3 big Conan first issues form Marvel. They are all reader copies to be sure, but they are mine.
