Story by Roy Thomas, John Jakes. Art by Barry Windsor-Smith, Gil Kane. Cover by Barry Windsor-Smith.
The greatest saga in sword-and-sorcery history begins. Born on a battlefield in the frozen lands of Cimmeria, Conan has spent his life fighting his way across the untamed Hyborian kingdoms - sparing no man, woman or wizard his wrath. His adventures will become legend. He will become king. He is...Conan the Barbarian. Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith brought Robert E. Howard's iconic creation to four-color life with work that set new standards for comic book storytelling. Now, Marvel is honored to present their epic sagas - painstakingly restored to match the majesty of the original editions. In these early exploits, Conan ventures from his homeland for the first time, honing his skills as a thief and mercenary - and above all, a warrior. Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #1-13 and material from CHAMBER OF DARKNESS #4. Rated T+.
