Story by Roy Thomas. Art by John Buscema, Various. Cover by Dale Keown.
The legend of Conan continues. Tired of the thieving life, Conan signs on as a mercenary for the warring kingdom of Turan. The enemy will tell of Conan's legendary skill in battle - if any are left alive - but palace intrigue may prove more dangerous to the barbarian than any foe. After all, it's never wise to bed a wizard's woman... Then, Conan joins Red Sonja for a multipart adventure. Last, but far from least, comes Roy Thomas and Gil Kane's never-before-reprinted adaptation of 'The Hour of the Dragon' - the iconic story of how Conan became king and conqueror, and met the woman who would become his wife. And it's all restored to the original, authentic coloring. Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #27-51 and ANNUAL #1; GIANT-SIZE CONAN #1-4 and material from SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN (1974) #1, #8 and #10. Rated Parental Advisory.
