Born on the Battlefield: Part One
At long last. Ever since the old Arnie movie version of Conan I have always wanted to know more about the parents of Conan. Who were they? How does one raise someone that becomes Conan? In Born on the Battlefield: Part One I found out. Not much mind you but it's only part one so I am hoping this storyline will go into great detail.
Conan's first ever fight is in this comic so that is worth the price alone is it not?
I have a feeling his jealous ex-friend Donal will play a significant role to come.
It will be nice to see child-Conan. In the books and even in the first story of this comic series Conan is already sixteen. I look forward to the next part.
