Conan at his finest! Savage, brutal and always… EPIC!

Freed from the strict Comic Code Authority stamp of approval, the Savage Sword of Conan magazine was always more hard-hitting and savage than its sister title Conan the Barbarian, and featured more action, violence and raunch and Omnibus Volume 5 of the original comic series is no exception.

This volume sees Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones joining stalwart regular Roy Thomas on the writing duties, and artist Ernie Chan joining legends Ernie Colan and Gil Kane on art duties. Omnibus Volume 5 carries on the legacy in fine form!

New writers Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones join Conan legend John Buscema to drive the barbarian’s black-and-white adventures in savage new directions! To topple a decadent royal, Conan must brave a moat of blood filled with gruesome monsters. The barbarian 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, sadistic King Razak lures Conan into a death-filled maze. Writer 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. This volume also brings back fan-favorite characters like Jenna and Murilo to the supporting cast.

This volume sees classic stories such as “Plunder of Death Island”, “Dwellers in the Depths”, ‘The Sea of No Return” and “Lurker in the Labyrinth” giving full reign to the savagery of Conan. Featuring the usual assortment of superb pin up art by some true greats of the comic book form. This book also features a section of rarely seen bonus material!

Volume 2 of the Conan the King Omnibus sees writers Alan Zelenetz and Don Kraar teaming up with Marc Silvestri, Mike Docherty, Judith Hunt, Geoff Isherwood and Mike Manley to bring a new era of Conan to life.

The greatest hero in sword-and-sorcery history. This is the legend of the time when Conan was KING!

ALL HAIL KING CONAN!

Conan the barbarian, the thief, the mercenary, and now… Conan the king!

Believing his favorite son, Conn, to be dead after a reckless campaign in the treacherous region of Gunderland, Conan sets out with his elite squad, the Black Dragons, determined to retrieve his son’s body. But Conn is very much alive, and his perilous journey back to his father unfolds alongside Conan’s desperate quest.

Tensions rise with Conan’s other son, Taurus, who delves into dangerous witchcraft and sorcery, plotting to seize the throne. When a flaming bird, summoned by the malevolent witch Zandra, abducts Taurus, Conan embarks on a daring rescue mission to save his rebellious son.

This is only the beginning of Conan’s troubles. He faces relentless palace intrigue, warring factions, and ominous prophecies of war and famine that drive him into a deadly conflict with Nemedia, Aros, Ophir, and the Picts, who all scheme to conquer Aquilonia. Meanwhile, sinister plots brew behind his back as Crasus and Count Barthold conspire against the indomitable king…

Written by Alan Zelenetz and Don Kraar with artwork by Marc Silvestri, Mike Docherty, Judith Hunt, Mike Manley and Geoff Isherwood.
