Amusingly enough, I popped out of bed too early this morning and had the grand idea to grab a random game from the library and try to grab some test footage with my lousy camera just for fun and to post on my YouTube page. It just so happened to be Cauldron’s old CONAN game for the original Xbox:
Which is good for chuckle or two as well as a peek at some nice art. A few hours later, Dark Horse Comics shoots over the cover art and first few pages of King Conan: Hour of the Dragon for me to ogle and post, so here you go:

The first six pages are below the jump, so go check them out if you’re a fan of the character or just want to peek at the nice art.

While the middle to late 1960’s weren’t too good for Alfred Hitchcock’s film output, his fantastic 1972 thriller, FRENZY saw the director return to fine form with a chilling blend of murder, “wrong man” plot, police procedural (of sorts) and black comedy. Between the solid casting of mostly imperfect-looking British actors, actual London locations blended perfectly with studio sets, a bit of nudity and one very unsettling (and lengthy) assault/murder scene that’s shocking but necessary to drive the plot, this is one of those films where you can feel the director’s complete confidence in himself, his cast and crew.
