Roy Thomas (Writer) • Barry Windsor-Smith (Art/Cover)

Conan comic books soon became a huge, industry-changing success story — and it all began with CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1 in 1970! Join the young Cimmerian warrior as he and an Aesir raiding party invade the land of Vanaheim — setting Conan on a path of adventure leading to winged demons, a dark temple and the mysterious Star-Stone, which would offer a vision of Conan's future as a king! It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all!

Conan's chronicles conclude! When the beloved queen of Khauran is secretly replaced by the evil witch Salome, only one man sees through the deception: Conan, captain of Khauran's royal guard! But can Conan stand against Salome's villainous ally Constantius and his mighty mercenary army? Conan will be crucified and left for dead — but he shall have his vengeance! Then, a new saga begins as Conan stumbles into a camp of Kozak raiders alone, unarmed and half-dead. With a band of Turanian hunters in hot pursuit, the barbarian may find a new ally in the Kozaki chief — but what about the chief's sons? And as the Turanians plot to end Conan's life, a Nemedian princess lures him to the remote island of Xapur — where lurks the monstrous Devil in Iron!
