CONAN THE BARBARIAN: 
THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL. 7 
Now available!

Written by Christopher Priest With Don Kraar
Penciled by John Buscema & Val Semeiks With Ernie Chan & Mike Docherty
Covers by Leinil Francis Yu & John Buscema

He was the writer that would put Black Panther back on the map of popularity in the late ’90s, but in the ’80s, Christopher Priest was editing—and writing—tales of Conan the Barbarian! The seventh volume in this popular Omnibus series collects the first half of Priest’s run, as the writer assembles a cast of engaging supporting characters around Conan, including the haunted Tetra and the courageous Captain Delmuro, sending them in pursuit of treasure held by the wicked thief, Keiv. Priest also introduces to the color series one of the great super-villains in Marvel’s Conan mythos—the Devourer of Souls. The dark reaver is one of Conan’s most formidable foes, and their legendary battles begin here! 

Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #172-194 & ANNUAL (1973) #10-11. 

Hardcover, Full Color, 680 pages, $125.00.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN: 

THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL. 9 

Written by Val Semeiks, Charles Santino, Gerry Conway & Michael Higgins with Larry Hama, Don Perlin, Michael Fleisher, Roy Thomas & Glenn Herdling

Penciled by Val Semeiks, Ron Lim & Gary Hartle with Gary Kwapisz, Don Perlin, Geoff Senior, Alfredo Alcala, José Delbo, Dwayne Turner, Frank Springer & Rodney Ramos

Covers by Jim Lee & Micael Higgins

As CONAN THE BARBARIAN closed out the 1980s, it was a time of transition for the title — with storytelling innovations coming from veteran creators and new talent alike! In Val Semeiks' climactic run on the title, Conan weighs pleasure and pain in a magical desert city, wrests the Blade of Zed from a mad cleric and runs a gantlet of fantastic beasts in a city of shadows. Larry Hama delivers the elegiac verse of "Drumsong," while Don Perlin writes and draws the Western-styled "The Mask of Vengeance." Gerry Conway makes Conan a cat's paw to a cult of cat people, and Michael Higgins turns back the clock for an eight-issue storyline exploring Conan's formative years in Cimmeria! 

Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #214-240 and WHAT IF? (1989) #16.
