•An almost exact facsimile of the second issue of the pulp.

•The comic insert is now available electronically in color.
The Corsairs from the Coalsack is listed as having artwork by Joe Kubert (listed here as J. Kubert), but seems to have some Steve Ditko inks.
The Spider God of Akka starring Crom, is considered to be the first Conanesque comic story.
•The comic section is unpaginated, but is still counted in the page count, page numbers listed are hand-counted.
•The story illustrations are uncredited, although the comic stories are, but Giunta has signed his, Lidham and Maral's illustrations look like they have been signed by a second party. Martin is a guesstimate based on the signature scribble, possibly Mark Marchioni?.
