Howard material but to give them their due, Dark Horse seems to be lavishing all their Howard love on new adaptations. Certainly the new Conan series at DH - despite some serious padding issues - has been miles better than anything Marvel produced since Roy Thomas initially abandoned the franchise.

I'll admit DH has done a great job with the current series and their hardcovers...but, there was a point where they were going to stop the hardcovers and stay with the trades, we fans put notice to them that was unacceptable...My point should have been that DH does the new material in hardcover why not the old.
