DYNAMIC
FORCES PRESENTS . . . CONAN!
Company Signs Licensing Deal To Create Collectibles For
Classic Creation.
 January
10, 2005, Runnemede, NJ – Dynamic Forces Inc. today
announced a deal that includes the production of limited edition
and collectible merchandise for one of Robert Howard’s
most famous creations – Conan the Barbarian.
Debuting
in a 1932 issue of Weird Tales, Conan the Cimmerian made his
mark on history in the first Conan story, "The Phoenix
on the Sword."
Over the
next four years, seventeen Conan stories appeared in Weird
Tales, some lengthy enough to require serialization. Books,
comics and eventually two feature films followed.
“We’re
honored to be working with a property like Conan,” explained
Nick Barrucci, President of Dynamic Forces. “We went
into this deal with the intention of premiering pieces by
one artist who had committed to creating his first-ever depiction
of the venerable barbarian – Alex Ross. We’ll
be producing the first-ever lithograph and statue based on
this powerful new interpretation on Conan!”
“John
Buscema is one of my all time favorite artists, and the work
he did on Conan remains the definitive version to me. For
this one-time painting, I’m channeling all of my inner
Buscema for this piece, and I look forward to seeing it as
both a litho, and then a statue,” stated Alex Ross on
what drew him to working on this.
The license
allows for Dynamic Forces to produce lithographs and limited
edition resin statues featuring images of Conan, with the
first piece scheduled to be a re-creation of Alex Ross’
new painting of the character.
Look for more information on the release of DF Conan Product
in the coming weeks.
