First Look At Titan Comics’ ‘The Savage Sword Of Conan’ #8

by Olly MacNamee

This week’s new issue of the magazine-sized The Savage Sword of Conan is a rather big one. With creators including Liam Sharp, Dennis Culver, Chris Burnham and Fred Kennedy with Marco Rudy, you only have to check out the preview, and cover by the legendary Joe Jusko for all three new strips to see how spectacular an issue this will be. I know, being a follower of Liam Sharp, that his Conan strip has been something he’s wanted to do his whole life, and now his dream has come true. And you can tell how much this means to him by simply gazing at the lavish, highly detailed art he crafts on each page. Career-defining? Maybe. What do you think?

“Witness a death-defying duel from the legendary Liam Sharp, a cave-crawling adventure from Dennis Culver and Chris Burnham, and a dreamlike journey from Fred Kennedy and Marco Rudy.

Adding to the excitement are two new Howardian characters – Breckenridge Elkins (from Zircher/Hernandez) and Cormac Fitzgeoffery (from Davisson/Fafner). With a stunning array of pin-ups and captivating covers from Joe Jusko and Alex Horley, The Savage Sword of Conan #8 is not one to be missed!”
