Amazing work. A thoroughly professional documentary history of Marvel's Conan, replete with interview questions with industry figures, fascinating insights and a startling amount of information that was new to me. Anyone interested in Conan or Bronze Age comics will be well rewarded in viewing it.

"It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms- all of them- may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage." ~Rod Serling

"When we so cheapen the concept of human life that we can be permissive to the occasional bomb or bullet, I think we've taken a giant step back into the Dark Ages. And I don't think there's a light at the end of that tunnel. " ~ Rod Serling
