The Essential Conan

Roy Thomas / Barry Windsor-Smith
THE SCOOP: Crom! The best of Conan is collected at last!
THE STORY: In 1970 Marvel Comics took a gamble with the premiere of CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1, a series that featured the wild adventures of pulp novelist Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery hero. That gamble paid off as fans reacted strongly to the soldier of fortune who possessed no magical powers, yet ruled the prehistoric realms populated by wizards and demons. Readers were also thrilled by the art nouveau style renderings by a young penciler named Barry Windsor-Smith. As the years passed, this comic book helped to make the barbarian famous, and now those historic stories are collected here, in one massive volume!
THE FORMAT: It's 528 pages of sword swingin', monster whuppin', fair maiden rescuin' action at its best-and it's also presented in the amazingly affordable and acclaimed black-and-white format!
SC, 7x10, 528pg, b&w
