    “Conan have hot date. Crom curse gondolier for being late!”

    Finally. A proper, non Hollywood handsome Conan.

  4. Ryan Says:

    @Fred, yes, non-Hollywood, who subsists on a diet of unfiltered Camels, whiskey and fried steaks.

    Fortunately, Gwyneth Paltrow is arriving to provide him with some Hollywood health advice in the form of Goop products.

    Oh noes! Conan is flashing a white power OK hand signal.

    (in John LaFontaine voice)

    Max Wall IS… Conan!

  7. Bruce A Munro Says:

    “Conan had small accident with boat.”

    All the weirdness must be keeping Conan up at nights: those are some serious bags under his eyes.

    Also, I’m not quite sure if he’s showing his teeth or just being sort of pouty.

    “Dear, better call the exterminator. It looks like we have Cimmerians in the basement.”

  9. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @fred—I’m all for non-Hollywood handsome, but this goes too far. Bandy legs, flabby pecs, baggy eyes—this guy looks more like Moe than Conan! 😉

  10. Tat Wood Says:

    Drink! Arse! Feck! Girls!

  11. Hammy Says:

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a jaw as square as Conan’s….

  12. GSS ex-noob Says:

    Judging by the color scheme of this, we can guess what sort of flood it was.

    How can an actual Conan look like a bad excuse for a Faux-nan? I daresay if the damsel in the diaphanous blue dress can get rid of the sword, she’s got a chance against him in hand-to-hand combat. Providing she doesn’t laugh at such a skinny, gurning specimen of alleged barbarian magnificence.

    @Tor: GSS.

  13. Longtime_Lurker Says:

    GSSxn #12: Simple. It was a mix-up at the publishers. This cover was intended for The Last Hero by Sir Pterry. In other words, that’s Cohen the Barbarian, not Conan.

  14. Francis Boyle Says:

    Just to be gender inclusive, on closer inspection our damsel looks like an septuagenarian with pancake make up, so maybe this is a guidebook to fantasy roleplaying for older folk. I have no explanation for the sewer though.

  15. GSS ex-noob Says:

    I think @L_L and @Francis have provided much more plausible interpretations.

  16. Verylatetotheparty Says:

    @L_L and @GSSxn: Even though Cohen the Barbarian has false teeth made of diamond, I can’t imagine him ever wearing that wig.

  17. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Vlttp: If we consider the role-playing idea of @Francis, the wig is explained.

    Combine their ideas, and the picture almost makes sense.

  18. A.R.Yngve Says:

    But really, what did you expect? Conan has been around for close to 100 years – it’s bound to show…

    “By Crom, I am not old! And this IS my real hair! Don’t touch it, please.”
