Savage Sword of Conan #2<\/strong> is out and it is a solid follow-up to the outstanding first issue.<\/p>\n It features two covers to choose from.\u00a0 I selected the variant cover with art by Nick Marinkovich (shown above).\u00a0 Dave Dorman did the other cover.<\/p>\n The issue features a letter column.<\/p>\n Pinups included are: Conan I Was by Rafael Kayanan, Conan: Lair of the Serpent by Gerado Zaffino (shown below) and Solomon Kane by Nick Marinkovich.\u00a0 All of the pinups in this issue are examples of artists at the top of their game.\u00a0 I’d love to see a full length Conan story from each of these three.<\/p>\n The issue features a full-length Conan story, Conan: Leaving the Garden<\/em> by Jim Zub (writer) and Richard Pace (artist).\u00a0 Conan is gravely (no pun intended) wounded.\u00a0 Near death, Conan is found by a young boy. The monsters that wiped out the caravan Conan was traveling with are near.\u00a0 If the creatures don’t find him and his wounds don’t kill him, Conan will have his revenge.<\/p>\n Jim Zub creates a horrific tale of human\/monsters who worship a god that commands they bury their victims in gardens for a yearly feast!\u00a0 I look forward to more Conan tales from Zub.<\/p>\n Richard Pace’s art is not as finished as one might expect.\u00a0 It’s raw and at times sketchy (I don’t mean that in a bad way), but it works for the story.<\/p>\n
