Roy Thomas' decade-long original run on CONAN THE BARBARIAN ranks as one of the greatest in comic book history, and it was crucial in making Conan an icon known the world over!

In this action-packed Omnibus, Roy and artistic collaborator John Buscema bring the saga of Bêlit and her quest for the crown of Asgulun to a conclusion.

Volume 9- 1st printing. Collects Conan the Barbarian (1970-1993 Marvel) #214-240 and What If (1989-1998 2nd Series) #16.

Cover by Michael Higgins.

As CONAN THE BARBARIAN closed out the 1980s, it was a time of transition for the title - with storytelling innovations coming from veteran creators and new talent alike!

In Val Semeiks' climactic run on the title, Conan weighs pleasure and pain in a magical desert city, wrests the Blade of Zed from a mad cleric and runs a gantlet of fantastic beasts in a city of shadows. Larry Hama delivers the elegiac verse of "Drumsong," while Don Perlin writes and draws the Western-styled "The Mask of Vengeance."

Gerry Conway makes Conan a cat's paw to a cult of cat people, and Michael Higgins turns back the clock for an eight-issue storyline exploring Conan's formative years in Cimmeria!

Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 704 pages, full color. Teen+

Written by Val Semeiks, Charles Santino, Larry Hama, Don Perlin, Gerry Conway, Michael Higgins, Glenn Herdling, and Roy Thomas (as Justin Arthur).
