Conan the Barbarian Article from OUI Magazine!

That's right, Conan from the pages of the June 1982 issue of OUI! It's sitting on The Conan Completist Forum just waiting to be examined and grasped, so find yourself a box of tissue and head on over by clicking (NSFW) Here! (NSFW).

Thanks to Cromulus The Destroyer for providing the "Hunnies"! Oh, and the tissue is for wiping away the tears while wishing you could've been an extra in the orgy scene.

Conan the Destroyer Article from Star Blazer Magazine!

I came across this old article hyping the release of the abysmal crap-fest, Conan the Destroyer. They do their best to really talk it up and I admit it's a charming look into the pop-culture past of our favorite barbarian. It's followed by a brief two-page interview with the director (i.e. - the man who single-handedly killed the Conan movie franchise) and then capped off by an almost hilarious contest page in which fans were invited to write in why the loved Conan the Destroyer. My answer would have been brief, and probably included an f-bomb or two. ;)

Enjoy...

Alter Ego, Sword & Sorcery in the Comics!

Many thanks go out to CROM! fan, artist, and fellow blogger Mike DeStasio, who's taken it upon himself to send me HIS VERY OWN two copies of Roy Thomas' ALTER EGO, the Sword & Sorcery in the Comics editions! Sure these have been around for a while, but if you're like me and haven't read them yet...well...NEW! These two issues are jam-packed with pre-Conan and Conan greatness (from what I've heard)...I'm smiling from ear to ear, and super-appreciative...so Mike...Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU! Here's me in all my glory with your generous gifts:

Hell yeah, if Reis gets to wear a mask, then so do I! And yes, I'm goin' for SpiderPimp here...

Now I've got some reading to do, so Crom's sayin' that you immediately go and pay Mike a visit...he's co-blogging up a storm over on RED SONJA: She-Devil With A Sword , and now gettin' his blog on at THE MIGHTY BLOG OF HERCULES!!!

Arnold Schwarzenegger Still Keeps His Conan Sword in His Office!

I stumbled on to this article from igeektrooper, thanks to a tip from Topless Robot, all about how Arnold Schwarzenegger's office (he's the Govenor of California, you know) is jam-packed with momentos of his long and prolific film career, including the actual prop sword he used in the movie Conan the Barbarian!

I imagine that this cuts down on people disagreeing with him. Look in the picture below at all of the people sitting there, trying to smile, but holding back a pants-peeing fear that at any moment the Governator is going to behead them.

"What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to get a bill passed through that provides more money for local education! Crom!"

1984 Starlog Interview with Queen Taramis!

I found a link to this interview via the Conan Completist Forums from Starlog magazine in 1984 with Sarah Douglas who played Queen Taramis in Conan the Destroyer. It's a pretty funny article where she talks about her cut sex scene with Arnold, slapping the bajeezus out of Wilt Chamberlin and how rather normal and lovely Grace Jones really is (hoo boy). Enjoy!
