The Chronicles of Conan comic books issue 6

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "Curse of the Golden Skull and other stories!" Collects Conan the Barbarian (1970-1993 Marvel) #35-42.

Written by Roy Thomas. Art by John Buscema, Rich Buckler, Ernie Chan [as Ernie Chua], and Neal Adams.

In the eight decades that have passed since prolific pulp writer Robert E. Howard created his seminal Sword and Sorcery adventurer, Conan, many other scribes have tried to recreate the passion and energy Howard infused into his stories. Few have come as close as comics writer Roy Thomas did during his long and influential run on Marvel's monthly Conan the Barbarian series back in the 1970s.

Collaborating with the most acclaimed and talented artists of the time, Thomas wove a narrative tapestry of action, intrigue, and heroism that's as powerful today as it was when it was published nearly 30 years ago.

Featuring completely remastered color and text corrections, these stories have been unavailable in color since their original publication.

Softcover, 160 pages, full color.

Cover price $15.95.
