About the Author
DON KRAAR broke into comics as a writer in the early 1970s with short stories for DC's anthology titles. He became one of the mainstays of Marvel's Conan comics line in the '80s with work on The Savage Sword of Conan, two Conan graphic novels and an extended run on Conan the King that saw the character expand his empire.
GARY KWAPISZ became one of the defining Conan artist of the 1980s. He is also responsible for two, self-published Civil War graphic novels called, interestingly enough, Civil War Adventures. These books bring history to life, telling the story of America's most terrible war.
DOUG MOENCH is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight, Deathlok and Bane.
