His adventures will become legend. He will become king. He is...Conan the Barbarian! Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith brought Robert E. Howard's iconic creation to four-color life with work that set new standards for comic book storytelling. Now, Marvel is honored to present their epic sagas -- painstakingly restored to match the majesty of the original editions. In these early exploits, Conan ventures from his homeland for the first time, honing his skills as a thief and mercenary -- and above all, a warrior!

Conan must brave zombie Hyborians, dragons and assassins -- as well as the underground catacombs beneath Aquilonia, where lurk creatures more hideous and deadly than anything he's ever encountered on the surface! The Road of Kings is no place for weaklings! Plus: An action-packed adaptation of the classic Robert E.

Conan le Cimmérien:
Les Mangeurs d'hommes de Zamboula
Coming in March!
Conan in the land of a thousand and one nights!
A crossroads of beliefs, languages and cultures, the mythical trading city of Zamboula is also the scene of many dark legends. Conan recently arrived on the scene and warned of the dangers of Aram Baksh's home. It is said that most foreigners who stay there disappear in obscure circumstances ... that's good, it is precisely here that the Cimmerian decided to spend the night! But by lifting the veil on these mysterious cases of kidnappings, Conan will discover another secret, more terrible still, related to the whole of the city of Zamboula ...
A tale steeped in orientalism and macabre witchcraft, The Man Eaters of Zamboula offers Gess the opportunity to deliver his vision of the hero of Robert E. Howard in a comic book with exotic and dark beauty.

Pages: 64
