Arriving in comic shops April 26!

by Cullen Bunn (Author), Sergio Dávila (Illustrator), Michael Atiyeh (Color), and Lee Bermejo (Cover)

Alone, on the brink of death, and with nothing but his sword, Conan the Cimmerian stumbles into a camp of Kozaki raiders. With a band of determined Turanian hunters at his heels, the Kozaki chief hesitantly offers the barbarian refuge. As Conan's grievous wounds heal, he gains acceptance into the clan and becomes a mentor to one of the chief's two sons . . . only to discover that mortal danger is closer than ever.

Penned by superstar writer Cullen Bunn (Deadpool, The Sixth Gun, Harrow County) and with art by Sergio Dávila (Red Sonja), this volume collects issues #1-#6 of the pulse-pounding series, Conan the Slayer!

Trade paperback, 7x10, 152 pages, Full Color, $19.99
