Wednesday Worlds of Wonder CROM THE BARBARIAN "Giant from Beyond!"

Return to a time before Atlantis sank with comics' first barbarian...
...as we present the third and final chapter in the saga of Crom, from Avon's Strange Worlds #2 (1951)
 
Thus do the tales of Crom come to an end, two decades before the coming of Conan in 1970...
His last adventure was produced by co-creators Gardner Fox (writer), and John Giunta (artist).
None of his stories were reprinted, even after the success of Lord of the RingsConan the Barbarian, and others made sword and sorcery a hot genre!
One bit of barbarian trivia; around this time, artist John Giunta took on a 15-year old apprentice who would later illustrate many fantasy characters including Conan, Kull, John Carter of Mars, and Tarzan!
His name?
Frank Frazetta!
Next Wednesday!
A New World of Wonder!
Past, Present, or Future?
This Universe or an Alternate Reality?
The Only Way You'll Find Out is to Be HERE!
