I'd have to read the story again to see if there are any similarities to POTA, but creatures similar to the Beast-Men had long been (almost) a staple of comicbook stories, CJ.

On first seeing that terrific splash page I assumed that the fight between Conan and the Beast-Man had taken place in Savage Sword #1 and I'd missed it ! The story is great too but it's sort of a rip-off of Planet Of The Apes, isn't it ? Conan/Taylor is captured by the Beast-Men/apes and taken to their city and he has to try and escape. I loved the image of the Beast-Men's underground city in a gigantic cave !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-89082772103846380762016-11-10T13:26:03.369+00:002016-11-10T13:26:03.369+00:00It's certainly got atmosphere, PM.
