We're doing something a little bit different today, folks.

All the information is in the episode:

After more reboots than popsicle sticks in the Potomac, Steeven Orr Else is back for one more try with an odd amalgamation of comic book critiques, movie musings, and pop culture ponderings that were recorded at various points for various shows over the last 20 years.

In this episode you will be baffled and more than a little amazed to be listening to the following segments:

Gold calls. Ruins answer. And something ancient wakes up angry.

In this episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven drags us deep into Conan the Barbarian #40: The Fiend from the Forgotten City, a sun-scorched nightmare where greed is the only map and survival is never guaranteed.

Conan stumbles upon the lost city of Ababenzaar, a place stuffed with crumbling towers, ancient corpses, and a gemstone so powerful it might as well be a god in disguise.

The beefy barbarian cuts his way through ambushes and supernatural horror, only to learn (yet again) that cursed cities never go quietly… and neither do the things bound inside them.

So grab your sword, mind your bargains, and maybe leave the shiny rock where you found it — because this is Hither Came Conan Episode 62, and the Forgotten City does not forgive.

Conan the Barbarian #40: The Fiend from the Forgotten City was published by Marvel Comics in April of 1974.

Enjoy!

When Conan rides west he expects trouble. What he doesn't expect is a cursed fishing village, a mad priest, or a sea-beast the size of bus.

In Episode 61 we slam headfirst into Conan the Barbarian #39 in which bandits ambush the our hero, his horse is ruined, a venomous snake knocks him on his ass, and fate (and a fierce young woman named Rachalla) hauls him back from the brink.

What follows is pure, uncut pulp. A seaside town held hostage by a priest who trades blood for false salvation, virginal sacrifices chained to rocks, and a gargantuan dragon that’s really a nightmare crocodile erupting from the surf.

So grab your copy and gird your loins because this is one monster fight you can read in a single gulp.

Conan the Barbarian #39: The Dragon from the Inland Sea was published by Marvel Comics in March of 1974.

Enjoy!
