Stygian Dogs | Battle of the Mists! ULTIMATE comparison of a ‘Conan the Barbarian' classic! 1980 vs. 1976! @StygianDogs | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Hey you Stygian Dogs! Behold my nerdiest project to date!
Presenting THE definitive comparison of two closely related ‘Conan the Barbarian’ comics:
It’s ‘Crawler in the Mist!’ (1980) vs. ‘The Crawler in the Mists!’ (1976).
Issue #116 of Marvel Comics' 'Conan the Barbarian' (1980) uses ALL of the interior illustrations from the Power Records #PR-31 comic book (1976), with Len Wein’s original text and story adapted by J.M. DeMatteis.
Just how different are these two books? Well, you’re going to find out!
Featuring work from:
Neal Adams
John Buscema
Len Wein
J.M. DeMatteis
