ROBERT E. HOWARD'S HYBORIAN AGE UNLEASHED! 

See its true skull-cracking nature, its unrestrained  blood-splattering violence, mayhem, and sexuality!

Two she-pirates, one recently dead, and the other less than willing are all that stands between chaos and order.

The secret behind Bêlit's resurrection is revealed! And it involves the gods themselves! But once the source of this miracle comes to light, a betrayal from someone close becomes imminent. Will the truth provide her with more power? Or be her doom?

Bonus material includes the original Robert E. Howard essay, "The Hyborian Age."

Full Color, 7x10, 32 pages, $3.99, On sale July 13.

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!

Robert E. Howard's Conan is brought to life UNCENSORED!  
Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual.  Read the story as he intended!

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!
