Conan the Barbarian #3 (Marvel: 1970) | Hither Came Conan

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!Enjoy!Mike's Amazing World of Comicshttps://magazinesandmonsters.com/Check out the Brave and the Bob episode I was on: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brave-and-the-bob-episode-22-worlds-finest-252/id1459643898?i=1000610674672. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .JOIN STEEVEN ORR ELSE BEYOND FOR EARLY AND AD-FREE EPISODES. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .FEEDBACK COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS:Email - [email protected] - @SteevenOrrElseSpoutible - @SteevenOrrElseThreads - @SteevenOrrElseBluesky - @steevenorrelse.bsky.social Instagram - @SteevenOrrElse. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .SOMANYPODCASTS.COM
