Conan is back, and BIGGER than ever. Everyone’s favorite Cimmerian has found a new home, with brand new publishing entity, Pan-Universal Galactic Worldwide, or PUG Worldwide. Spearheaded by industry veterans John Nee, John Barber and Nate Murray, PUG Worldwide is shaking up the comic market with their first release Conan The Barbarian: The Colossal Edition. The book launches today on the crowdfunding platform Zoop.
The Colossal Edition is the first of many planned, and is PUG’s version of the oversized Artist Edition that fans have grown to love. The book clocks in at over 190 pages of 11x17 scans of original Conan The Barbarian art from masters and legends, such as John Buscema, Gil Kane, Barry Windsor-Smith, Neal Adams, Howard Chaykin, and many others. The campaign offers fans the choice between two different covers - one by Jim Lee, and the other by the aforementioned Buscema.
