BY CROM, YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A CELEBRATION LIKE THIS – 

MARKING 50 YEARS OF CONAN THE BARBARIAN IN COMICS!

Revelations, surprises and savage action prevail in the all-new KING-SIZE CONAN! In 1970, Roy Thomas brought CONAN THE BARBARIAN, a creation of author Robert E. Howard, to Marvel Comics. With art by the incomparable Barry Windsor-Smith, CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1 introduced the Hyborian Age to a whole new audience, paving the way for decades of comics and Conan's conquest of pop culture.

Now get ready to celebrate 50 years of CONAN with an oversize special spanning the breadth of Conan's life and times by the most dazzling array of creative talent ever assembled in one book to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth!

Experience Roy Thomas and Steve McNiven's all-new prelude to that original story from 1970!

Thrill to a tale of revenge by Kevin Eastman (co-creator, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), writing and drawing his FIRST Marvel story!

Chris Claremont and Roberto de la Torre team up to unveil a turning point in Conan's career as a mercenary!

Kurt Busiek and Pete Woods recount an early brush with sorcerous forces that will shape Conan's destiny!

Conan and Bêlit sail together again for the first time since the 2019 relaunch, with Jesús Saiz illustrating the Marvel Comics maiden voyage of Steven S. DeKnight (Netflix's DAREDEVIL writer/director/showrunner)!

The perfect introduction for new fans, and an essential adventure for die-hards, this is the can't-miss CONAN comic of the decade!

Full Color, 64 pages, $6.99, On sale December 23.

SAVAGE AVENGERS #15 (Featuring Conan)
Gerry Duggan (Writer) • Patch Zircher (Art)
Cover by Valerio Giangiordano

While Conan's team is busy trying to take treasure from a dragon, Kulan Gath's forces are poisoning the world's drug supply to summon Shuma Gorath. Black Widow, Wolverine and Son of Satan take on the Priest of Sickles. Ain't no party like a Savage party, and you can't throw a poison drug caper without the Punisher crashing it.

Full Color, 32 pages, $3.99, On sale December 2.

SAVAGE AVENGERS #16 (Featuring Conan)
Gerry Duggan (Writer) • Patch Zircher (Art)
Cover by Valerio Giangiordano

Magik joins Conan with guest Avenger the Black Knight and…the Juggernaut. An Asgardian dragon with the second eye of Agamotto doesn't stand a chance. Or maybe he does. Either way, the Sweet Sixteenth of this comic is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight that will punch you upside the head. Fair warning.

The Queen of the Black Coast! Conan the Barbarian and the maritime monarch Bêlit are the undisputed masters of the Western Ocean, their names whispered in fearful awe! But while most seafarers know better than to challenge their reign, strange new threats are arriving from unexpected shores. Conan must return to Cimmeria to hunt an impostor destroying villages in his name, but he discovers a shocking connection to his own past! In the wake of an unthinkable tragedy and an enormous strain, Conan and Bêlit find their bond buckling. As Bêlit returns to her childhood home, what she discovers in the sands of Shem could separate her from Conan — forever! Meanwhile, Conan seeks clarity through the mind-altering power of the yellow lotus — but will the visions revealed to him be more than he can bear?
