CONAN MORE SAVAGE THAN EVER!
Writer Roy Thomas and Conan artist supreme John Buscema are joined by a host of top-tier visual talents — Frank Brunner, Gene Colan, Sal Buscema, Ernie Chan and Carmine Infantino — to tell Conan’s most savage tales. This volume’s stories range from the young Cimmerian’s exploits as a mercenary to his latter days as king of Aquilonia in the iconic “Scarlet Citadel.” Anchoring it is Thomas and Buscema’s 160-page adaptation of Conan the Buccaneer. It’s a high-seas masterpiece that entangles Conan, a vile pirate and a beautiful princess with the forces of Thoth-Amon. Also featuring pinups galore, an exhaustive dictionary of Hyborian-era names and places and the stunningly painted, full-color masterpiece “The Trail of the Bloodstained God.”
