Barbarians From Conan to He-Man HC (2024 Pulse) comic books

1st printing. Written by Claude Gaillard. A Cinematic History of Conansploitation. In ancient and mysterious times, at the dawn of a new world, a Cimmerian conquered both the realms of imagination and the theaters. From adventure to adventure, from quest to epic, his name echoed in cities and villages. No country, no castle, no court, no crown escaped these heroic tales. Ignoring borders, languages and customs, he forever inscribed himself in the memory of men. Various peoples made the stranger their own. Crowds turned the savage into a king capable of challenging the gods, of defying, single-handedly, the forces of destiny--and those of the box office. His name was Conan, and soon his children would walk in his footsteps. From Hollywood, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Mexico or Argentina, barbarians and amazons stormed movie theaters and video store shelves. From Dar the Beastmaster to Kalidor, from He-Man to Red Sonja, Barbarians recounts, in pages richly illustrated with rare photos and posters, the legend of Conanspoloitation and unveils the story behind the phenomenon. Hardcover, 7-3/4" x 10-1/2", 252 pages, full color.
