CONAN THE BARBARIAN: 

THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL. 9 

Written by Val Semeiks, Charles Santino, Gerry Conway & Michael Higgins with Larry Hama, Don Perlin, Michael Fleisher, Roy Thomas & Glenn Herdling

Penciled by Val Semeiks, Ron Lim & Gary Hartle with Gary Kwapisz, Don Perlin, Geoff Senior, Alfredo Alcala, José Delbo, Dwayne Turner, Frank Springer & Rodney Ramos

Covers by Jim Lee & Micael Higgins

As CONAN THE BARBARIAN closed out the 1980s, it was a time of transition for the title — with storytelling innovations coming from veteran creators and new talent alike! In Val Semeiks' climactic run on the title, Conan weighs pleasure and pain in a magical desert city, wrests the Blade of Zed from a mad cleric and runs a gantlet of fantastic beasts in a city of shadows. Larry Hama delivers the elegiac verse of "Drumsong," while Don Perlin writes and draws the Western-styled "The Mask of Vengeance." Gerry Conway makes Conan a cat's paw to a cult of cat people, and Michael Higgins turns back the clock for an eight-issue storyline exploring Conan's formative years in Cimmeria! 

Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #214-240 and WHAT IF? (1989) #16.

Hardcover, Full Color, 704 pages, $125.00, On sale September 28.
