This was one mammoth translation, so the title of the story seems quite fitting…it’s “
The Mammoth Hunters”, 45 pages of
Conan greatness, never before seen in English! This one originally appeared in Spanish, by way of Editorial Planeta's
La Espada Salvaje de Conan (The Savage Sword of Conan) #4 (3rd era), featuring a script by none other than
Chuck Dixon!!! You know Chuck, right? Savage Sword of Conan? Conan the Savage? Conan the Usurper? In my opinion, the best damn writer Marvel ever had (well, right after Roy Thomas)…Sorry Chuck!
Check out this Conan…big, badass, bloody, and beautiful, courtesy of Argentinian artist
Rubén Meriggi!
And, well, one cool cover by
Blas Gallego!

Mediafire Stygian dog! Sure the script has taken quite a beating (being translated into Spanish and then loosely translated back into English), but at least the story makes sense. With any luck, Mr. Dixon will see this post, and not wanting his name associated with my second rate script, be kind enough to hook us up with the original!

This is F'N awesome...these comics need to see print in the US area. Somebody from the publisher should contact Dark Horse. .......Mikey
This is EPIC! I can't believe you translated this entire thing, Cromsblood. Very, very cool!
Thanks Guys,
I started this one on Sunday, and because I didn't let myself get too hung up on those parts that just wouldn't translate well, I managed to bang that one off in, oh, about 22 hours.
Is there a subscription? Seriously I'd like to get my hands on these and save them and collect them and hug them and squeeze them and pet them and hold them and call them George.
All kidding aside...I'd like to subscribe.
Hello friends!!! thanks!!! thanks!!!

Rubén,
Thank you sir, great stuff! And thanks for stopping by!!
Rubén es uno de los más grandes.
La edición que hicimos en España, les recuerdo a ustedes, fue una traducción del material editado originalmente por Marvel Italia, división de Panini Comics.
un saludo
Thanks Manuel!
I think that Carlos had told me that only 3 of these comics were published in Italy...if I understand you correctly, all of them were originally created in Italian (Marvel Italy), but only three were ever published in Italy. All 15 of them were then translated and published in Spain.
And Thank you so much for the work you did here: http://www.tebeosfera.com/1/Libris/REH/Sumario.htm

-te de editores entre ellos a Mike Lackey al editor de SAVAGE SWORD.El proyecto continuo en MARVEL ITALIA.Yo dibujé cuatro libros,Tres se publicaron y uno no le entregué nunca.Se publicó en Italia ,España,Francia,etc...
El material no se vió en usa simplemente porque el nuevo editor de CONAN EL BARBARO dijo que era extremadamente violento.
Thank you for posting this. I read them long time ago, it was one of the first Conan comic I've read.
Do you have the original in spanish? I remember that speech in the end, It was pretty cool!
Looks like Blas Gallego painted over a pencilled sketch done originally by Meriggi for this cover! It must be.
