Mahmud Asrar Covers Savage Sword of Conan Omnibus Vol. 5 HC, Due July 2021!
Marvel’s collecting of the seminal black-and-white Marvel magazine The Savage Sword of Conan continues with a 5th deluxe Omnibus hardcover, with a brand new piece of cover art by Mahmud Asrar! This edition collects issues #61-72 (February 1981-January 1982) features an introduction by series editor Louise Simonson and hundreds of pages of newly restored interior art and painted covers.
New writers Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones join Conan legend John Buscema to drive the barbarian’s black-and-white adventures into savage new directions! To topple a decadent royal, Conan must brave a moat of blood filled with gruesome monsters; and he survives a ship capsizing in storm-tossed seas only to awaken on the shores of an island filled with beautiful but deadly tiger-riding women warriors! Then, the sadistic King Razak lures Conan into death-filled maze! Roy Thomas returns for a locked-door mystery set at sea, with Conan playing the sleuth! Plus: comic art master Alex Toth delivers a stunning Conan art portfolio and Gil Kane and John Buscema both write and draw their barbarian backup features “Chane” and “Bront”!
Savage Sword of Conan: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 5 HC is due to hit store shelves on July 7, 2021. Check out the link below for more book information and a ton of gorgeous interior and cover art from the Omnibus!
