Conan the Barbarian #3 (Marvel: 1970) | The Twilight of the Grim Grey God! | 7

Prepare to plunge into the heart of war and myth as Conan strides into a world teetering on the brink of destruction! In this episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven unpacks the epic tale from Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian #3 (1970), a story charged with divine fury, treachery, and battlefields soaked in blood. Conan’s chains become weapons of vengeance as he joins a brutal war between Hyperborea and Brythunia—two kingdoms entwined in a deadly dance of betrayal and conquest. Enslaved, furious, and armed with his barbarian grit, the young Cimmerian sets out to carve revenge into the ranks of his oppressors. Standing in his way are scheming commanders, enchanted armor, and the ominous presence of the Grim Gray God, Borri, whose fate hangs in the balance as even gods can die. Fueled by Roy Thomas’ masterful adaptation of Robert E. Howard's mythic tale The Gray God Passes and Barry Windsor-Smith’s art that burns brighter with every panel, this issue roars with all the raw, savage power you’d expect from Conan at his bloodiest. With insights, humor, and a touch of philosophical musing about the mortality of gods, Steeven delivers an unmissable breakdown of one of Conan’s most haunting adventures. Come for the barbarism; stay for the mythic spectacle!

Prepare yourselves for the beginning of an epic journey! In this milestone episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #1, the iconic Marvel Comics issue from 1970 that launched the Cimmerian into comic book stardom. With Roy Thomas's gripping script and Barry Windsor-Smith's early art style (a fascinating mix of promise and raw potential), this first issue brings Conan to life as a young warrior caught in the midst of a battle between the Aesir and Vanir—and an encounter with otherworldly forces that will shape his destiny. Witness the birth of Conan’s comic legacy as he battles winged demons, resists a scheming shaman, and glimpses a mysterious vision of his future—crown and all. Steeven dissects the issue’s breathtaking storytelling, Kirby-esque art, and world-building grandeur, connecting it to the rich mythology of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age. This is more than a review—it’s a celebration of where it all began for Marvel's Conan. Join us for sword-swinging action, fiery commentary, and an unforgettable first step into the untamed world of the Hyborian Age!

Conan the Barbarian #7 (Marvel: 1971) | The Lurker Within! | 11

Sharpen your swords and brace your thews, adventurers! In this thrilling episode, Steeven tackles Conan the Barbarian #7, The Lurker Within, a 1971 Marvel classic that blends sword-and-sorcery with a locked-room murder mystery. Conan’s journey through the Hyborian Age takes a detour into Nemedian intrigue when he rescues a damsel, tangles with the law, and gets roped into a high-stakes heist at the infamous House of Relics. But this isn’t your average smash-and-grab. A cursed golden bowl, a treacherous femme fatale, and a slithering, man-serpent horror await our Cimmerian as the body count rises and ancient evils are unleashed. Steeven dives deep into the differences between this issue, Robert E. Howard’s original story The God in the Bowl, and later adaptations. He serves up a feast of lore, humor, and analysis, including Conan’s knack for upsetting city guards, smashing through mysteries, and proving (once again) that greed and betrayal are a barbarian’s best motivation. Prepare for action, horror, and a giant snake-monster you’ll never forget. It’s Conan at his most dangerous, and Hither Came Conan at its most entertaining. Tune in now, or face the wrath of Thoth-Amon! Enjoy! Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media. For more nerdy goodness from me, visit somanypodcasts.com. Got questions or comments?

Conan the Barbarian #36 (Marvel: 1973) | Beware the Hyrkanians Bearing Gifts | 58

Conan returns to Agraphur and is immediately promoted to the King’s personal guard. But when a stone statue comes to life, threatening the King’s very existence, will our brawny barbarian prove to be the best fit for his new position? Hold on to your butts, folks because Steeven's leaping head first into Conan the Barbarian #36: Beware the Hyrkanians Bearing Gifts. While this episode isn't a part of your balanced breakfast, it does cram together palace intrigue, sweaty training montages, illicit pillow-talk, and full-on monster mayhem into one glorious, blood-slick hour and twenty-eight minutes. Conan goes from mud-caked barbarian to the King’s questionable new bodyguard. He's learning bows and horses and the deadly art of the axe while stealing a few stolen kisses from the dangerously voluptuous Amytis. It's a pretty sweet setup for our boy, Conan. That is until the aforementioned stone statue comes to life and starts killing people and stuff. Conan the Barbarian #36: Beware the Hyrkanians Bearing Gifts was published by Marvel Comics in December, 1973. Enjoy! Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Conan the Barbarian #5 (Marvel: 1971) | Zukala's Daughter | 9

Prepare your steel and summon your courage because in this electrifying episode, Conan the Barbarian faces his most surreal challenge yet! Host Steeven Or Else dives sword-first into Conan the Barbarian #5, a 1971 Marvel masterpiece by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. In this issue, Conan tangles with Zukala, a flamboyant masked wizard with questionable fashion sense, and his daughter Zephyra, who doubles as a deadly tiger! With a demon tax collector prowling the land and a gaudy dragon-hilted sword on the line, Conan must navigate betrayals, sorcery, and a prophecy of doom that could spell disaster for our favorite barbarian. Marvel as Conan shatters masks, slays demons, and casually loots gold like the unapologetic force of nature he is. Steeven takes you on a raucous page-by-page journey, blending lore, laughs, and irreverent critiques of art that sees demons and tigers defy all color consistency. Plus, hear Steeven’s musings on Marvel’s early attempts to mix superheroes with Hyborian fantasy—and the eternal mystery of Conan’s "costume." This isn’t just an episode; it’s an odyssey into the heart of Hyborian chaos! So grab your cloak, dodge the tiger, and join us for a roaring good time. And remember—never underestimate Conan’s brains, brawn, or ability to walk off with the spoils. Enjoy! The Cromcast Season 18, Episode 9: Conan in Comics with Jim Zub!

Conan the Barbarian #6 (Marvel: 1971) | Devil-Wings Over Shadizar | 10

Brace yourselves, Hyborian adventurers! In this thrilling episode, Steeven Or Else plunges into the shadowy streets of Shadizar to dissect Conan the Barbarian #6, a 1971 Roy Thomas original with jaw-dropping art by Barry Windsor-Smith. This time, Conan faces a city full of scoundrels, a cult of red-robed fanatics, and a not-so-divine giant bat known as the Night-God. When an alluring blonde, Jenna, catches Conan’s eye, he finds himself cracking skulls, melting stolen gold into a suspiciously metaphorical heart, and awkwardly learning the finer points of romance—until cultists crash the date. What follows is a whirlwind of infiltrations, fiery brazier-swinging action, and a midair battle against a bat-beast that would terrify even Gotham’s Dark Knight! Can Conan save Jenna from the clutches of the monstrous Night-God? Will he ever escape the indignities of a yak-horned helmet? And what’s a barbarian to do when his gold—and his girl—vanish into the night? Steeven dives deep into this wild ride, offering insights, humor, and just the right amount of snark about cult logistics and the mysteries of giant bats. It’s a fiery tale of love, betrayal, and the enduring badassery of everyone’s favorite Cimmerian. Tune in, because this episode is a heart of gold (and may or may not be easier to carry)! This issue was published by Marvel Comics in March, 1971. Plus... Bloopers! Enjoy! Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Conan the Barbarian #35 (Marvel: 1973) | The Hell-Spawn of Kara-Shehr | 57

Get your mind ready for action as we pry open the tomb doors of Kara-Shehr and watch greed wake something that never wanted to be disturbed — a misty, fanged horror, an impossible sapphire called the Azure Eye, and the terrible price paid by a friend who reaches for it. We got all that and more as Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #35: The Hell-Spawn of Kara-Shehr. Expect blow-by-blow mayhem: camel raids in dawn heat, a desperate rescue in the dunes, a sandstorm that dumps our heroes before the ruined throne room, and that spine-cold moment when the skeleton’s hand closes around the jewel. Re-live the panic as an old foe returns, the room fills with living mist, and Conan charges headlong into certain death in hopes to save a friend. But also expect the unexpected because this is a story that refuses a neat ending. So join Steeven as he celebrates Buscema’s masterful storytelling and Glynis’s color work, riffs on Gil Kane covers and Roy Thomas’s liner notes, and leans into how sometimes the barbarian loses — and why that makes the stories hit harder. If you love Conan at his most brutal and bittersweet, tune in for an emotional ride across dunes where treasure isn’t worth the cost, and maybe don’t touch the pretty blue rock. This issue was published by Marvel Comics in October of 1973. Enjoy! Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media. For more nerdy goodness from me, visit somanypodcasts.com.
