Interesting.. Here's the Barry Windsor-Smith art on the calender.

I wouldn't be shocked if Marvel got Conan back.
Nor am I sure it would be cause for rejoicing if they did.

Marvel need to get the rights to all the REH characters, including Red Sonja, for it to work, that's if they are really looking to acquire the rights to Conan and the REH Universe. I feel it is too difficult and too late for Dark Horse to reinvigorate the title - a Marvel relaunch in say about a years time, if done correctly will create interest and a rise in sales. However, it'll be incredibly difficult to maintain that interest after four or five years, it's tough out there.
If we get a nice hard-bound collection of the Roy Thomas run on CtB and SSOC it'll be worth it.

If they DO do Conan they should do a MAX imprint; Disney has a fairly family friendly image.
In any case I hope they do at least one last series in order to tie up some of the loose ends (even if it's only a miniseries)

As long as they don't pussify him, I'm down.

With the solicit of the 4th omnibus, I think it's just Occam's razor: they reprinted the 1975 calendar with the pictures in different months with a few tweaks, rights or no rights. It's almost like the calendar prompted DH to solicit the book! I know it does't work that way and it's been in the works for months, but the timing is just too funny!

Marvel should relaunch some classic bubblegum stickers - maybe that'll persuade DH to give us a new Conan series taint-the-meat.com/2013/10/10/marvel-bubblegum-stickers/

Look at what they're doing with Star Wars... Expect an emphasis on identity politics and something similar to Brian Wood's QotBC.

Even then, I thought the jokes were lame. You find better ones on Taco Bell(tm) sauce packets.
