Welcome artist Rob Hafferman to the Land of Scrolls! We talk the Robert E. Howard story, “Iron Shadows in the Moon.” This tale of Conan was adapted into comics three times, at three different comic book publishers. Our main focus is on The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian #4 from Marvel. But our talk about the other adaptations is not to be denied. Find a safe spot amongst the ruins and listen in.

Jacob Balcom and Matt Howell from the Bronze Age Monsters podcast, bring their distinct research and review to the Land of Scrolls! They join me in launching our new limited series focusing on the wizard turned god, Zukala! From a series of poems written by Robert E. Howard, Zukala was adapted for comics by Roy Thomas in 1971 and the wizard returns multiple times throughout the Conan comics and magazine. Each appearance accompanies a significant event in the comics. Our conversation of the character and book brings even more topics to the discussion then even we could have foreseen.
