Cover D: Homage cover

Robert E. Howard's Conan is brought to life UNCENSORED!  

Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual.  Read the story as he intended!

A world to explore. A throne to be reconquered. Conan the King. The Hour of the Dragon is the only full-length Conan novel written by Robert E. Howard and is considered by many to be one of his best works. It is now adapted into a comic mini-series by two visionaries of heroic fantasy and imagination: Julien Blondel, writer of Elric, and Valentin Sécher, artist of Méta-Baron, brings forth a grandiose, bloodthirsty epic! 

Under the funeral vaults of the mausoleum belonging to the ancient and cruel Emperor Xaltotun of Python, three men devoured by ambition come to offer to the inert body of the deceased sovereign the heart of Ahriman, a source of immortality which once belonged to him. Taken away at the cost of his life. In exchange for this offering, the three men claim a single thing: the world. However, there is only one person able to stand in their way, a Cimmerian who seized the throne of Aquilonia: Conan!
Also contains the original prose story!

Full Color, 7x10, 32 pages, $3.99













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.
