Collection The Savage Sword of Conan #9

This Italian collection volume — subtitled Il Sangue degli Dei ("The Blood of the Gods") — puts Conan front and center in a visceral cover painting: the muscular Cimmerian wrestles bare-handed against a leaping saber-toothed predator, sword raised, while a woman looks on in the background against a brooding, fiery sky. The lineup of Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Ernie Chan, Alfredo Alcalá, Christy Marx, and Tony DeZuniga promises a rich gathering of Hyborian-Age adventure from some of the most celebrated talents ever to bring Conan to life on the page.
