About this Collection

This volume collects the early issues of the 1970s Marvel Comics series, adapting Robert E. Howard's classic sword-and-sorcery tales of the Cimmerian warrior. It features the work of writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith, presenting Conan's adventures in the Hyborian Age with a mix of gritty action and detailed fantasy art.

"The Coming of Conan!" kicks off with the barbarian warrior in the midst of a brutal clash on a Hyperborean battlefield, where he faces down the villain Malachi after a tense exchange with the enigmatic god Borri Borri. Roy Thomas and Barry Smith deliver a raw, mythic introduction to Conan’s legend, with Barry Windsor-Smith’s striking cover capturing the moment’s primal intensity.
