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 of them live to tell the tale -- but palace intrigue may prove more dangerous to the barbarian. After all, it's never wise to bed a wizard's woman. Then, Conan joins with Red Sonja for a multipart adventure. Last, but far from least, we present Roy Thomas and Gil Kane's complete 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eROY THOMAS\u003c\/b\u003e joined Marvel as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every Marvel title: \u003ci\u003eThe Amazing Spider-Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Avengers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDaredevil\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDoctor Strange\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Sub-Mariner\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe X-Men\u003c\/i\u003e and more.

His career began in 1948 as a member of the Timely\/Marvel Bullpen. He left the field for advertising in the mid-'50s, but Stan Lee coaxed him back to comics in 1966. Buscema followed with a celebrated run on \u003ci\u003eThe Avengers\u003c\/i\u003e with the first \u003ci\u003eSilver Surfer\u003c\/i\u003e series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on \u003ci\u003eFantastic Four\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThor\u003c\/i\u003e and other titles. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title--including over 100 issues of his personal favorite, \u003ci\u003eConan the Barbarian\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe entrance of \u003cb\u003eGIL KANE \u003c\/b\u003e(1926-2000) into the comic book field was interrupted by World War II, but upon his return the young artist swiftly rose to become one of the key stylists of his generation. At DC, Kane ushered in super heroes' Silver Age on \u003ci\u003eGreen Lantern\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Atom\u003c\/i\u003e, while at Marvel he held influential tenures on \u003ci\u003eThe Amazing Spider-Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCaptain Marvel\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWarlock\u003c\/i\u003e. His 1971 \u003ci\u003eBlackmark\u003c\/i\u003e is regarded as one of the first graphic novels. Kane continued to produce captivating work until his passing in 2000.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Titan Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50900667236626,"sku":"9781787740846","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_24be28ff-81f2-4615-8db1-04c92618b622.jpg?v=1738391469","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/conan-the-barbarian-the-original-comics-omnibus-vol-2","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
