The greatest hero in sword-and-sorcery history. This is the legend of Conan!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.”
Biographical note:
Roy Thomas wrote classic runs of The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange, Avengers, Captain Britain and, of course, various Conan titles.John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist-namely, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way-and few were better qualified. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title-including over 100 issues of his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
