Roy Thomas

    22. November 1940

    Roy Thomas ist bekannt für seine wegweisende Arbeit im Comic-Bereich, insbesondere als Nachfolger von Stan Lee bei Marvel Comics. Ihm ist die Einführung des Pulp-Helden Conan der Barbar in die amerikanischen Comics zu verdanken, dessen Geschichte er erweiterte und damit einen Trend für Schwert-und-Zauberei-Geschichten auslöste. Thomas setzte sich auch für die Wiederbelebung von Helden des Goldenen Zeitalters ein, insbesondere für das 40er-Jahre-Team Justice Society of America. Seine umfangreichen schriftstellerischen Arbeiten umfassen prägende Zyklen für Marvels X-Men und Avengers sowie für DC's All-Star Squadron.

    • DER BARBAR ALS KÖNIG ist die dritte klassische Comic-Serie über Robert E. Howards legendären Fantasy-Helden und behandelt Conans Jahre und Abenteuer als König von Aquilonia – jetzt mit restaurierter Kolorierung! Dieser Sammelband umfasst die Ausgaben 1-19 von KING CONAN sowie umfangreiches Bonusmaterial. Conan wurde in den 1970ern bei Marvel zur Comic-Legende, und 1980 startete die Serie KING CONAN, die sich auf einen älteren Conan konzentriert, der als König auf dem Thron sitzt. Bereits in Howards erster Erzählung wurde Conan als erfahrener Krieger und König dargestellt, der sich Verschwörern stellen muss. In diesen Comics entwickelten die Autoren Roy Thomas und Doug Moench eigene Geschichten oder adaptierten Werke von Howards Nachfolgern. Conan hat mit Zenobia eine Königin und mit Conn einen Sohn, bleibt jedoch der ungezähmte Krieger, der sich jeder Bedrohung, einschließlich dem finsteren Zauberer Thoth-Amon, stellt. Künstlerisch ist dieser Band ein Treffen von Generationen: John Buscema, der die ersten beiden Conan-Titel prägte, und der aufstrebende Marc Silvestri, der in den späten 1980ern zum Superstar wurde. Der Sammelband enthält außerdem ein Vorwort von Roy Thomas sowie Artikel, Werbematerial und schwarz-weiße Originalseiten.

      Die extralangen Fantasy-Abenteuer des legendären Barbaren bieten ein einzigartiges Erlebnis für ein erwachsenes Publikum, präsentiert in stimmungsvollem Schwarz-Weiß. Dieser Sammelband umfasst die Ausgaben 61-7 der Savage Sword of Conan sowie umfangreiches Bonusmaterial. Robert E. Howard schuf mit Conan eine der bekanntesten Figuren der Fantasy, die ab 1970 als Marvel-Comic-Held in der bunten Heftserie Conan the Barbarian und ab 1974 in der schwarz-weißen Magazinreihe Savage Sword of Conan lebendig wurde. Im Magazinformat konnten Autoren und Künstler ohne die Einschränkungen des Comics Code arbeiten, was ihnen kreative Freiheiten bot. In diesem Band debütiert Michael Fleisher, während Veteranen wie Roy Thomas und John Buscema ihre Fähigkeiten zeigen. Conan kämpft gegen einen grausamen Sultan, stellt sich Monstern und klärt einen Mord an Bord eines Schiffes auf. Zudem wird eine Fortsetzung von Howards Erzählung „Der Teich der Riesen“ präsentiert, in der Conan den Schrecken der Tiefsee begegnet. Weitere Geschichten umfassen den Jungen Gebel-Han auf der Suche nach seinen Träumen und die Abenteuer von Chane, einem barbarischen Helden. Als Bonusmaterial sind beeindruckendes Original-Artwork und Einblicke von Comic-Legenden enthalten, sowie Roger Sterns Ausblick auf den ersten monumentalen Conan-Film mit Arnold Schwarzenegger.

      Conan schwingt erneut sein Schwert in den brutalen und freizügigen Comic-Abenteuern des legendären Barbaren aus Marvels klassischen schwarz-weiß-Magazinen. Dieser Sammelband enthält die Ausgaben 45-60 der „Savage Sword of Conan“ sowie reichlich Bonusmaterial. Die Comics fangen die Essenz von Conan ein, einer archetypischen Figur der Sword & Sorcery-Fantasy, die Robert E. Howard in den 1930ern für Pulp-Magazine erschuf. Die Geschichten von Roy Thomas, John Buscema und anderen Meistern zeigen, welche grafischen Werke in den 1970ern und 1980ern im Haus der Ideen entstanden. Die Comic-Interpretationen trugen dazu bei, dass der cimmerische Krieger und Glücksritter zu neuen Höhen aufstieg, lange bevor der erste Conan-Film mit Arnold Schwarzenegger den Barbaren unsterblich machte. Die Marvel-Macher konnten Howards kraftvolle Erzählungen umsetzen, eigene Geschichten entwickeln oder auf spätere Romane zurückgreifen. Der unzensierte Rahmen gewährte den Kreativen Freiheiten in Umfang, Epik, Gewalt und Erotik, was einige der stimmungsvollsten Conan-Comics hervorbrachte. Neben klassischen Abenteuern enthält der Band faszinierendes Bonusmaterial, darunter ein verworfenes Storyboard für eine Kampf-Sequenz von Neal Adams für den ersten Schwarzenegger-Film – eine Rarität für Conan- und Comic-Fans!

Ende der 1970er Jahre führte Autor Roy Thomas ein talentiertes Team von Künstlern wie John und Sal Buscema, Ernie Chan und Tony DeZuniga, um stimmungsvolle, brutale Geschichten mit Robert E. Howards Fantasy-Ikone zu erzählen. Die schwarz-weißen Magazine ermöglichten es, die Wildheit des Barbaren aus Cimmeria ohne die Einschränkungen der damaligen Selbstzensur zu entfalten.

      Kate Bush started her career at the top, the spellbinding 'Wuthering Heights' giving her a number one hit single with her first release. Yet from there, artistically at least, the only way has been up. For while the sales of both singles and albums over the five decades since have had their peaks and troughs, every new release has seen Bush refuse to be boxed in by past success but instead continue to take the musical chances that have characterised her career from day one. Across ten studio albums, including director's cut reassessments of two of them, and a live record of the 2014 Hammersmith Apollo residency, Kate Bush has constantly sought new ground, reinventing her sound time and again. She has often strayed from the commercial path of least resistance to examine the less travelled musical byways that have provided the inspiration for an extraordinary body of work, quite unlike anyone else's. With a string of platinum albums and hit singles to her credit, Kate's is a fascinating journey. This book examines her entire recorded catalogue from The Kick Inside through to Before The Dawn, hoovering up all the B-sides and the rarities along the way. It's a comprehensive guide to the extraordinary music of Kate Bush.
