Unfettered by the Comics Code, experience Conan at his most visceral
in the original epic comic magazine The Savage Sword of Conan! The
dark and gritty tales within are perfect for Conan fans looking for that
extra bit of bloody violence!
Crom! This inaugural volume ushers in a line of 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. 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"
featuring the infamous Tree of Death.
