Collection The Savage Sword of Conan #5

Volume 5 of Hachette's Savage Sword of Conan Collection — subtitled Gli Abitanti del Castello Cremisi ("The Inhabitants of the Crimson Castle") — opens with a cover image that sets the tone perfectly: a muscular, battle-ready Conan wielding a spear against a crowd of ghoulish, shrouded figures looming out of a murky darkness, with a vulnerable figure collapsed at his feet. The assembled talent inside is genuinely impressive, bringing together Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Gil Kane, Neal Adams, Walter Simonson, Alfredo Alcala, Ralph Reese, and Tony DeZuniga for what promises to be a rich collection of sword-and-sorcery adventure. If you're building this Italian series, this is a volume that delivers both striking visuals and a formidable creative roster.
