The greatest hero in sword-and-sorcery history. This is the legend of Conan! Writer Roy Thomas and Conan artist supreme John Buscema are joined by a host of top-tier visual talents - Frank Brunner, Gene Colan, Sal Buscema, Ernie Chan and Carmine Infantino - to tell Conan's most savage tales. This volume's stories range from the young Cimmerian's exploits as a mercenary to his latter days as king of Aquilonia in the iconic "Scarlet Citadel." Anchoring it is Thomas and Buscema's 160-page adaptation of Conan the Buccaneer. It's a high-seas masterpiece that entangles Conan, a vile pirate and a beautiful princess with the forces of Thoth-Amon. Also featuring pinups galore, an exhaustive dictionary of Hyborian-era names and places and the stunningly painted, full-color masterpiece "The Trail of the Bloodstained God."
About the AuthorRoy Thomas wrote classic runs of The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange, Avengers, Captain Britain and, of course, various Conan titles. John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist-namely, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way-and few were better qualified. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title-including over 100 issues of his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
