CONAN'S QUEST IN THE LAND OF THE LOTUS!

CONAN's march to Khitai has landed him as the prisoner of the imperial guard…but it will take more than chains to keep a Cimmerian down! As Conan plans his escape, what dreaded beasts lurk in the land of Khitai, and what new dangers will impede his quest to return the TOOTH OF THE NIGHTSTAR to its rightful master? 

The travels of Conan the Barbarian continue with the perfect jumping-on point for new or lapsed readers! Join us as we welcome new series penciler CORY SMITH to the Hyborian Age in this epic adventure!

Fifteen winters in his homeland have toughened the young warrior, but his greatest challenge lies ahead. Braving the elements without food, shelter or weapons, Conan must learn to survive — as nature itself conspires against him! Then, Frank Tieri and Andrea Di Vito send Conan on a hunt for a demonic sect in Argos! But he may doom the nation if he can't solve a hellish mystery in time! And legendary Conan scribe Roy Thomas joins an army of top-tier talent including Chris Claremont, Kurt Busiek, Steve McNiven and Kevin Eastman to present larger-than-life adventures of the iconic barbarian!
