The greatest hero in sword-and-sorcery history. This is the legend of Conan!
Battle runs through Conan's life like the blood in his veins. A stint with the mercenary Crimson Company isn't enough to quench his fury - but perhaps consorting with Belit, pirate queen of the Black Coast, can] Together, Conan and Belit will reave across Hyboria's high seas and into the dark depths of its jungles. There, Conan will earn his honoured name - Amra - in one of the Cimmerian's greatest epics] Master storytellers Roy Thomas and John Buscema follow with a saga that brings Conan, Kull and even Red Sonja together] All the while, the struggle to reclaim Belit's title and lands from the Stygians carries on.
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.
