That Savage Tales cover only serves to remind me that I still don't have that issue...  |

So its going to be a long time before this picks up where Marvel left off at #9, potentially two or more years? If the first volume isn't out till mid 2023...and then a book every couple months?

Although , as far as I know , they haven't given any dates they have said they'll carry on after reprinting_early_issues , though how many that will cover we'll have to wait and see. |

It'll be interesting to see. Forbidden Planet had Savage Sword omnibuses as low as £40 recently. I wonder if they were trying to get rid of them for a new version from Titan (as I learnt on here, Titan own Forbidden Planet).

It might be that they have to sell the Marvel books out by a certain time before the Titan ones come on stream. |

I fully agree on praising Titan for picking up actual images from the original issues and not imposing new – and mostly weak – ones for their omnis covers. This awful cover policy for standard copies was actually the only distasteful element for me in an otherwise impressive, solid edition endeavour.
But, then, why did Titan decide to use precisely, for SSOC volume 1, the Savage Tales cover which mentions all the non-Conan stories which will NOT be included in the omni? Looks almost like a joke.
More generally, I wonder why they (Marvel and then Titan) did not use some of the original paintings used for original covers, such as those reprinted within the archival section of the omnis. Too expensive, too complicated?

Even though I am myself a huge Earl Norem fan as far as SSOC covers are concerned, I have to agree on this one as a wonderful potential cover, with a famous scene both originating from an original story by REH and included in the Milius movie. Maybe it is too grim for a commercial cover? Not to mention the christian overtones…

But anyway I am very pleased to know that Titan is sticking to old SSoC when it comes to their cover choices. That for me is enough. |

That will be a very long wait...
I wonder if they intend to reprint all volumes up to #8.

Cool, thanks for the info, Hun. I'm particularly looking forward to the omnibus after that one. I've read in a couple of places the mid to late 130s were a great run.
