Two for the Price of Fun with The Barbarian Brothers! With the success of 1982’s Sword and Sorcery epic, Conan the Barbarian, there would come a handful of films that studios quickly pumped out with the hopes that they too could get in on the barbarian action. Conan was announced in 1978, so even before […]

While there have been a variety of amazing artists who have worked on the Conan franchise over the years – Frank Frazetta literally redefined the sword and sorcery genre with his depictions and Joe Jusko perpetuated the legend even further, there was another artist who ushered in a “new age” of Conan back in 2003… […]

Do you have what it takes to stop Death Adder? Growing up in a small town I had no access to an Arcade, I had to rely on what few machines there were parked in the back of my local pizza shop or bowling alley. One in particular became the obsession of my seven year […]

He’s like like Dr. Doolittle… but badass. Released only a few months apart from Conan the Barbarian, Beastmaster was a modest box office hit, finding it’s audience much later thanks to the extended play on cable tv and through video store rentals.

A man out of time fights an alien evil with lots of “stars” and “power.” Filmation’s animated series Blackstar, can only be described as the studio’s first effort to create an original Conan-inspired type of character. While it certainly could have also been inspired by Steve Gerber’s Thundarr the Barbarian (itself a riff on Conan), […]
