Written by Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza. Art by Bruce Timm, John Severin, Tim Truman, Eric Powell, and Rafael Kayanan.

Eisner Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek teams up with some of the best artists and writers in this collection of stand-alone stories from Conan.

In "Helm," Busiek and Fabian Nicieza write and EC Comics legend John Severin draws the story of a certain very famous horned helm. Renowned comics and animation artist Bruce Timm lends his styling to the darkly comic "Conan's Favorite Joke."

Current Conan writer Timothy Truman takes pencil in hand as the Cimmerian's influence crosses generations in "Seeds of Empire" and "The Blood-Stained Crown." Goon creator Eric Powell draws the poignant story of a young and unsung hero in "Storyteller," Dark Horse's centennial tribute to Conan creator Robert E. Howard. And artist Rafael Kayanan returns to the world of Hyboria with "In the Tower of Tara-Teth," a gritty adventure set during the Cimmerian's years as a mercenary and pirate.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Crows of Mana'olana!"

Written by Felipe Cagno. Art by Fabiano Neves. Cover by KyuYong Eom.

The Few and Cursed is a supernatural post-apocalyptic western.

Mana'Olana is a small town in the Honolulu Mountains region where a bedtime story about giant Crows that kidnap children in the silent of night originated. It turns out the Crows aren't exactly fiction.

In the year 1840, more than 90% of the water on the planet disappeared over night. Humankind has learned to adapt at any cost, and water has become the currency of the world. It's no wonder evil has blossomed in ways that were previously unimaginable. The dark arts and curses are now commonplace, and people have shown their true colors, becoming shockingly evil and devastatingly wicked monsters, all in the name of their coveted water.

Enter the tough and mysterious Redhead, a Curse Chaser looking to help those in needs, for the right price - water, of course.

The Few and the Cursed: Crows of Mana'Olana is the first complete saga of The Few and Cursed universe and pits the Redhead against the terrifying Crows. First published as a six-part mini-series, the full story is now available in one gorgeous collector's edition.
