In issue #400 of Secret Identity, I discussed the new Conan the Barbarian series from Dark Horse, which has a fantastic creative team consisting of writer Brian Wood, Artist Becky Cloonan and colorist Dave Stewart. The first arc in the new series is an adaptation of Robert E. Howard's classic short story Queen of the Black Coast, which sees Conan facing off against a mysterious and deadly female pirate named Belit.
This week writer Brain Wood provided sort of a director's commentary for issue #1 over at CBR. Among other things, he talked about how the original story had very little dialogue, and so he used Howard's descriptions of places and events in the story to craft dialogue between the characters.
I love when creators delve into the process behind a work, and the whole artilce is a very itneresting read if you've read the first issue of the comic. You can read the full article here.
