CLAW THE UNCONQUERED (vol. 1) #1 (May, 1975). Cover by Ernie Chan.
This was one of DC Comics' late-to-the-game forays into sword-and-sorcery adventures that were released that year, along with Hercules Unbound, Stalker, Beowulf, and Mike Grell's The Warlord. These were part of the publishers' efforts to capitalize on Conan the Barbarian, which had been a great hit for competitor Marvel comics for the previous five years.
Claw looked like Conan, but he wasn't Conan. There were important differences: Claw wore a glove, but Conan didn't; Claw had a fur collar, but Conan didn't; Claw had....naw, that's about it for the differences. Chan himself even admitted that Claw was a knock-off of Conan.
Artist Ernie Chan, who also was credited as Ernie Chua, had worked on Marvel's Conan, usually inking John Buscema's pencils. Chan's style and inking was so overpowering that it was hard to see any elements of Buscema - or whoever the penciller was - at all.
That made Claw's interior pages look super similar to Conan's, which I'm sure was DC editorial's intention when they hired Chan for Claw (and gave him an exclusive contract at DC as well). And in fact, other than the glove and the fur, the characters were pretty interchangeable. Chan himself even admitted that Claw was a knock-off of Conan.
But even Marvel had not had much success trying to recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle that was Conan, other than with Red Sonja, even with other Robert E. Howard characters (i.e. King Kull, Solomon Kane). By the mid-70's most of Marvel's sword-and-sorcery features had been cancelled, or were relegated to back-up stories in the black-and-white The Savage Sword of Conan magazine.
DC quickly found out that the market for Conan-clones wasn't there. Claw (9 issues), Stalker (4 issues), and Beowulf (6 issues) were quickly cancelled. Hercules Unbound struggled along, but even a change in the creative team couldn't get the book past issue #12. The only hit out of the group was The Warlord, the first volume of which ran for 133 issues.
Claw returned in 1978 with a new costume (the fur was replaced with chainmail), but only lasted three issues before the infamous DC Implosion cancelled him once again.
He appeared as a back-up feature in a couple of issues of The Warlord in 1981, then made a few cameo appearances here and there throughout various DC books over the years.
In 2006 he reappeared under the Wildstorm imprint, but only after he first had a 3-issue crossover with Red Sonja from Dynamite. The Wildstorm series itself only lasted six issues. It was never clear whether the Wildstorm series was a continuation of the original, a reboot, or set in the Hyborian world of the Red Sonja crossover.
