This could have been a story about someone being given a second chance at taking responsibility for their own life, being helped out of a depressive/self-destructive cycle, and otherwise turning their life around. Instead we're supposed to cheer because this horrible witch that was introduced to be a horrible witch is gone.

I don't know why the fact that Holbrook still uses the word "cyberspace" in 2020 bothers me so much, but it really does explain a lot about him now that I think about it.

This is kind of an interesting quasi-lead-in to the upcoming story line about Mo and therapy. It's a pretty marked shift from the early days of the strip which treated Sparrow's therapy stuff as a funny character quirk.

Posting this has pushed me to finally order the RE Howard collections I was missing. Anyway, now, I'd maybe do a bit more research before cracking open an ancient, magical amphora, but poo poo, what do I know? Crack that fucker open and see what pops out, what can go wrong?

The registration on those old color Conans is just unbelievably bad. A one-off is sort of understandable, but this is every week.

That comic also implies that being on the internet is like hanging out in a special club, and tons of people are being introduced to it for the first time in the year 2020. It's kind of adorable.

That's not fair. It's only like, 3/4 of them!

But yeah, it is really bad. Looking ahead, through to the end of 1978, they are a bit better (well, not next week's, that one's real bad too), you can see some but it's not as blindingly obvious as these past few, and beyond that it seems, barring a few exceptions here and there, it's generally decent. Like I said, I've not read these before, I'm basically discovering them alongside everyone else.. I'm not really familiar with how they'd have handled colouring back in 1978, but considering how poorly it sometimes gets handled now, I'm not too surprised it gets so sloppy.

Activating some magic item without even knowing what it does would be a dumb enough thing to do in, like, Harry Potter or whatever, but in the Conan universe it's basically suicidal. Possibly worse.

Almost certainly worse! Remember, Conan and Cthulhu? Same universe. The rules of the universe might be different, you might be able to actually fight them, but they're still gonna mess you up. Also, one of the early Conan stories, The God in the Bowl, is basically all about not busting open strange, ancient artefacts without knowing what they are. It's never gems, guys! Except when it is, but those ones will probably gently caress you up too.

Anyway, I love this Valiant. I like it when people wrestle with the physical manifestations of abstract concepts or other things you probably shouldn't wrestle with.

Although RE Howard wrote some Cthulhu mythos stories as well as the initial Conan stories, and there are certainly shared themes of "evil things outside the world trying to get back in" and "mysteries man was not meant to know", they aren't *technically* the same universe.

Too bad for Val he didn't wrestle with his conscience; he'd have wiped the floor with that weakling! Although if that witch can just restore his youth with a potion, I'm thinking he wasn't *really* wrestling Time; maybe some illusion of the witch.

I'm impressed by the art - that sequence of aging Valiants is quite realistic and all recognizably him. And all that stuff in the background! Not something you see on the comics pages these days. Nowadays you get Stephen Pastis whining about drawing very simplified cars.

Whoa, the second and third to last panels are astonishing. I keep being just completely stunned by Hal Foster, I wish I hadn't slept on him for so long and I'm seriously considering splurging on the big reprint books.
