A few weeks ago I got a copy of Chronicles of Conan #1 (Marvel Comics reprinted). While two stories are really good (Tower of the Elephant & Devil Wings over Shadizar), most do not catch the Hyborian feeling resp. don't even try to catch it - at least in my limited view of things. So I don't plan to spend more money on the reprints (although they may be good fiction in their own right).
Another matter may be the new Conan comics by Darkhorse. I saw a collection, named Frost Giant's daughter: can someone tell me, whether these stories are more true to REH's Conan / Hyborian Age?
Thanks for your advice!
P.S.: To clarify what I didn't like in the reprint copy: a REAL existing god encountered by Conan (Bori), Zuleika's father is a flashy D&D sorcerer with a cool Darth Vader mask, the ape-men in the 2nd or 3rd story are an imitation of Planet of the Apes.
