SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN The Original Comics Omnibus Volume 1

In lushly illustrated novel-length adventures with all the drama, violence and allure the comic book medium can offer, writer Roy Thomas and greatest artists of the era craft a host of Conan classics like Barry Windsor-Smith’s “Red Nails” and John Buscema’s “Black Colossus” and “A Witch Shall Be Born.” Plus work by Neal Adams, Boris (painted covers), John Severin, Gil Kane, Alfredo Alcala (inking Buscema), Pablo Marcos et al. Crom! This inaugural volume ushers in a line of new and definitive Savage Sword of Conan collections. Full-color covers, letters pages, pinups, extensive articles and reviews on Conan, his world and his creator -- everything’s included and no one is spared the vengeance of Conan! After the breakout success of Conan’s color comic, the legendary sword-and-sorcery saga of Robert E. Howard’s hero expanded into the oversized black-and-white magazine format. This became some of the best-loved Conan work ever, with painted covers, longer stories, and many of the finest artists jumping on board. Also, no Comic Code, so stories could be more mature, violent and a bit sexier than in the regular comics series.
