Few men have followed Conan down the dangerous path he treads,
and fewer still have lived to tell the tale. But there's only
one whose cunning and bravery matches the ferocious barbarian's
measure for measure; whose strength of will and courage of
heart never fail; one who is not a man at all, but is instead
the most formidable woman ever to fight her way across the
Hyborian world - Red Sonja. Together, the legendary warrior-woman
from the East and the restless savage from the North take
to the perilous road of thievery and high-adventure...
Volume
four in this collection of classic Conan tales is another
triumph for the saga. The artwork is beautiful, and was certainly
cutting edge for its time.
After
reading this collection I was wondering whether the following
exchange between characters was intentional? Could the English
slang for masturbation have been included before the word
was in common usage?:
"I'm
a Brythunian you worthless w*ank!"
"'W*nk',
did you say now!?"
Roy
Thomas, however explains that he was the victim of a practical
joke. He was assured that the term was a harmless English
curse word - like "bloody", but how it got passed
the censors is anyone's guess.
Other
than that little slip up, this collection is fairly similar
to what has gone before - great story telling and beautiful
art are a winning combination in anyone's book.
Another
fine example of what the comic art form should be all about.
