BY CROM, THE GREATEST SWORD-AND-SORCERY HERO RETURNS TO MARVEL!
From an age undreamed…hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet…

Robert E. Howard’s creation returns to comics, in an epic tale as only MARVEL could bring you! Conan’s travels have brought him to the far reaches of the unkown, from his birthplace in Cimmeria to the kingdom of Aquilonia and all in between. As his fighting prowess allows him to carve his way through life, so too does it attract the forces of death!

The all-new ages-spanning saga begins here, by writer Jason Aaron (THE MIGHTY THOR, STAR WARS) and artist Mahmud Asrar (UNCANNY X-MEN, ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS), as Conan’s destiny is forever changed!

BARBARIAN LIFE 
A Literary Biography of Conan the Barbarian (Volume 1)
By Roy Thomas
Now available!

Know, O Reader...
In thousands of four-color panels for Marvel Comics, Roy Thomas told the tale of Robert E. Howard’s greatest creation, Conan the Barbarian. Now, in this definitive biography and analysis, Roy chronicles Conan’s comic-book life, issue by issue, plot by plot, and artist by artist.

For ten years, from October 1970 when Roy and artist Barry Smith assembled the first issue of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian, to October 1980 when Roy and artist John Buscema completed their last issue together on the series, Thomas wrote of Conan's gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth—as well as the wars, the wenches, and the wizardry that bedeviled the Cimmerian from one issue to the next.

In this first of two volumes, Roy Thomas explains the creative process behind the first 51 issues of Conan the Barbarian. You'll look over his shoulder as he plots and scripts each issue, devises new adventures for Conan that expand Howard's original stories into a world-spanning epic, and works with such Conan artists as Barry Smith, Gil Kane, and John Buscema.

Whether you’re a Conan fan or a comics fan, you'll enjoy this in-depth look at a Marvel comic-book classic.

Cover by Tony Harris

“The Tower of the Elephant” and other stories! Conan the Barbarian stars in more legendary tales filled with swords, sorcery, giant spiders and monstrous creatures — including stories adapted from the original works of Robert E. Howard! Stealing the priceless gem the Heart of the Elephant from an unguarded tower seems like child’s play — but nothing’s ever easy for Conan! Then, a dalliance with a magistrate’s wife spells trouble, and Conan’s adventures in the City of Thieves continue as he runs a gauntlet of threats both human and inhuman! But what grotesque horrors await him in the Hall of the Dead? And is anybody ready for Conan…the King? Plus: Tales of Conan’s youth as he braves the Battle of Brita’s Vale — and rides a wild Cimmerian bull!

CONAN THE BARBARIAN: 
THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOLUME 2 HC

Written by Roy Thomas

Penciled by John Buscema With Gil Kane, Neal Adams & Rich Buckler

Covers by Dale Keown & Neal Adams

The legend of Conan continues! Tired of the thieving life, Conan signs on as a mercenary for the warring kingdom of Turan. The enemy will tell of Conan’s legendary skill in battle — if any are left alive — but palace intrigue may prove more dangerous to the barbarian than any foe! After all, it’s never wise to bed a wizard’s woman… Then, Conan joins Red Sonja for a multipart adventure! Last, but far from least, comes Roy Thomas and Gil Kane’s never-before-reprinted adaptation of “The Hour of the Dragon” — the iconic story of how Conan became king and conqueror, and met the woman who would become his wife. And it’s all restored to the original, authentic coloring!

Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #27-51 and ANNUAL #1; GIANT-SIZE CONAN #1-4 and material from SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN (1974) #1, #8 and #10.
