Can't go wrong with those Conans.

Conan #146 is very close to being my all-time favourite comic. The title of the story is "Night of The Three Sisters", and it has damn near everything you need in a Marvel Conan story.

Conan gets drunk. He tries, at various times, to woo each of the three sisters with his barbarian charms. He curses about the evils of sorcery. He gets easily distracted by gold. And he kills a ton of people. My copy has a a huge rip across the splash page, and about 3 inches of water damage on the back (I dropped it in the tub as a kid), but I've still never replaced it because I love that book so much.

Very nicely done - you'll enjoy 'em!

Love Chuck Dixon's Airboy! It holds up very well, and I love the updating of the Hillman franchise. Great characters, great stories, usually great art...congratulations on a fine haul!

Ah yes. I'm 27 years old and still doing that. I'll never learn.

...get the Conans so cheap?

Are we talking $1-$3 per issue?
