Robert E. Howard is one of my favorite authors and "The Hour often the Dragon" is his only Conan novel and this is in its literary form already a fantasy Kracher, who does not need to hide behind Tolkien! The graphical implementation of the literary material by Truman and Giorello is - as usual - gigantic. Although the individual panels do not spray straight over front detail joy, but they are, the action appropriate, rather dark and grim. What is a very good narrative trick again, the fact that once King Conan with his writer leads the reader as an old man by the plot and the first sites where Conan is the grave of the Zenobia as an old old man are, is designed really impressive , Overall, a very good band ... a small minus in spite of everything ...: in the middle of the action (Conan manages to escape from Aquilonia) cancels the comic. It is hoped that the action continues in an early band 4. Nevertheless, a very good, very exciting entertainment!
