UK CTB hardback Annual

Annuals are a tradition in Britain, and if you’re a hot TV show, movie or pop group, you get an Annual devoted to you. These big books (27x20cm) come out at Christmas, and generally contain text stories, games, comic reprints and puzzles - though standards now aren’t quite what they were in the ’60s, and the page-count has halved since then. "Conan The Barbarian" was big enough news in the UK for this Annual to be produced. It contains the Marvel adaptation of the movie script plus several pages of interviews.

so.... this is a hardback collection of the magazine articles?

I passed up on getting this one some time ago. It seems the same as the regular US comic book soft cover version. But I think the USA comic version carried some more pictures and a good shot of what appears to be Axe Baker.
