This s a very strong collection, but there were two or three stories that I thought were unreadable due to art design and page layout. Lots of dinosaurs, though.

TL;DR : Even as a male power fantasy this is a bit sh*t.
Between the times when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the Sons of Arius, there was an age of poorly written, overly stylized (read: wordy for no good reason), and formulaic stories reminiscent of H.P. Lovecraft's worst acid trip fiction. And unto this Conan, destined to be poorly drawn, wore the crown of Aquilonia on his troubled brown and looked exactly like every other generic well-muscled background character. It is I, his critiquer, who wonders what the knock-on effect of such toxic masculinity and the treatment of women as objects to be passed around like drinking cups will have for decades past and decades to come. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure, when women existed only in the simplex (read: in the singular), never to interact with one another or to have their own thoughts, feelings, or opinions.
Dun dun dun DUN dun dun....
