PHANTOMS AND PHOENIXES TPB
Coming August 17.

Volume #1 in the King Conan Chronicles Epic Collections

Written by JOSHUA DYSART, TIM TRUMAN & VICTOR GISCHLER

Penciled by WILL CONRAD, TOMÁS GIORELLO, ATTILA FUTAKI & TONE RODRIGUEZ

Cover by ATTILA FUTAKI

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown! Conan has won the throne of the kingdom of Aquilonia — and the h and of a beautiful bride. Is it time for the barbarian to lay down his sword? Don't count on it! Because when an evil sorcerer attacks, King Conan must strike back with all his might! Securing a crown is one thing, but holding on to it is a whole other challenge — especially with scheming conspirators in Conan's court! But the traitors may have chosen the wrong ally in Thoth-Amon! Plus: King Conan is haunted by the ghost of his first — and perhaps greatest — love! 

Collecting CONAN AND THE MIDNIGHT GOD #1-5, KING CONAN: THE SCARLET CITADEL #1-4, KING CONAN: THE PHOENIX ON THE SWORD #1-4, CONAN: THE PHANTOMS OF THE BLACK COAST #1-5 and material from AGE OF CONAN: HYBORIAN ADVENTURES.

Trapped in what is considered an inescapable dungeon, Conan wants nothing more than to get out and seek his revenge on the ancient and mysterious Xaltotun of Python for what he did to him and his people. A little unexpected help may go a long way toward his quest for freedom, but Conan has to get past the guardian of the dungeon first…whatever it may be. 

Also contains the original prose story!
