    Ha, yeah. But luckily I still have enough space in my „library“. And I do have several books that are even bigger.

    I'm moving into my flat in Glasgow soon and will be bringing my books over in a van. I have four small-medium bookcases. That isn't going to cut it :P My flat consists of; bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and library. My Mum asked where she will sleep if she has to stop over - of course, I replied 'In the library'.

    All you have to do is stack your books like lego blocks to make a bed for her. And then put a sheet and blanket over the top. Problem solved!

    Related: what are must-read issues or arcs from the Marvel years? I'm assuming anything drawn by BWS?

    Thanks much!
    I would also like to know the answer to this.

    You do deserve a special place in hell for how awful that was. Feel free to pop round if you need milk.

    I think they are ~700 pages and bigger trim. So they feel like the thing to break me into the series and manga in general tbh.
    I'm not tempted by it, I'm ecstatic about it. This and some great Conan books coming out in the next couple months, good times

    And while you‘re at it, get Death Note, Uzumaki, Ghost in the Shell, Akira (of course), Message to Adolf, Showa (for a bit of variety) and everything by Tezuka.

    I loved Deathnote! I keep getting tempted to watch the anime or film, but I'm too scared of them being awful

    The tone of the comics is so different, I wouldn't hesitate to get both the Marvel and Dark Horse versions of particular stories, especially if you are a Conan fan. You will know the general story but the details are changed.

    In reality, don't you already know the general story for most Conan stories(he is down and out, he steals something important or must kill something important, complications arise until he finally stand triumphant!).

    In terms of runs, my favorite Conan run is the Roy Thomas run(but I'm a big Thomas fan in general). For a different feel to Conan, consider the time he spends with Belit(a pirate queen that Thomas really grew into her own character). I think she was in Conan 58-100.

    Enjoy!
