Hmmm. Essentials are just so cheap n nasty, which I guess fits the pulp ethos of Conan but ff it's B&W BWS you're craving then I would recommend Conan Saga 1-8.
At least you get his art enlarged but with the exception of The Frost Giant's Daughter, Dweller in the Depths and Red Nails (which were drawn for B&W), Smith's Conan cries out for colour.
The Song of Red Sonja can get away with it too because of the fine linework.

Conan Saga is also a cheap way to pick up some classic SSoC material instead of getting the DH essentials.
