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!

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?
