THE ORIGINAL MARVEL CONAN IS BACK!

The greatest saga in sword-and-sorcery history begins - the saga of Conan! Born on a battlefield in the frozen lands of Cimmeria, Conan fights his way through the untamed Hyborian kingdoms, sparing no man, woman or wizard his wrath. His adventures will become legend. He will become king. Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith brought Robert E. Howard's iconic creation to four-color life with work that set new standards for comic book storytelling. Marvel is honored to present each story, each cover and each letters page - all painstakingly restored to match the majesty of the original editions. In these early exploits, Conan ventures from his homeland for the first time, honing his skills as a thief, mercenary, pirate and above all, warrior!

Cover by Neal Adams.

The legend of Conan continues! Tired of the thieving life, Conan signs on as a mercenary for the warring kingdom of Turan. The enemy will tell of Conan's legendary skill in battle - if any are left alive - but palace intrigue may prove more dangerous to the barbarian than any foe! After all, it's never wise to bed a wizard's woman... Then, Conan joins Red Sonja for a multipart adventure! Last, but far from least, comes Roy Thomas and Gil Kane's never-before-reprinted adaptation of "The Hour of the Dragon" - the iconic story of how Conan became king and conqueror, and met the woman who would become his wife. And it's all restored to the original, authentic coloring!
