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