CONAN THE KING: 
THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL. 1
Now available! 

Written by Roy Thomas, Doug Moench & Alan Zelenetz

Penciled by John Buscema & Marc Silvestri with Ernie Chan, Ron Frenz, Rudy Nebres & Alan Kupperberg

Covers by Kaare Andrews & John Buscema

Conan the barbarian…the thief…the mercenary…Conan the king! A new era of begins in adventures set after Conan has deposed the tyrant Numedides to become ruler of Aquilonia. But Conan on the throne is still Conan. The savage action that made him a comic book legend fills page after page while palace intrigue adds a new level of drama with Queen Zenobia and heir to the throne Prince Conn taking prominent roles. Old nemeses like Thoth-Amon return, while mystical prophecy ties Conan to the first king of the realm. 

Each issue is a double-sized extravaganza with scripts by the godfather of Conan comics Roy Thomas, Doug Moench and Alan Zelenetz and artwork by John Buscema and then-up-and-comer Marc Silvestri. All hail King Conan! Collecting KING CONAN (1980) #1-19.

Hardcover, Full Color, 776 pages,  $125.00
