Howard's iconic Cimmerian. Collecting issues #27-51 of the monthly series, along with the Giant-Size Conan #2-4 and the Savage Sword of Conan #1, this tome showcases the legendary creative team of writer Roy Thomas and artists John Buscema and Ernie Chan. The stories delve deeper into Conan's early years, pitting him against sorcerers, monsters, and rival warriors across the Hyborian Age, with classic arcs like 'The Song of Red Sonja' and 'The People of the Black Circle.'
In "Moon of Zembabwei!", Conan finds himself trapped in the cursed land of Zembabwei, where he must evade the Witch-Dancers and their leader M'Gorah. With his life and that of the captive Helgi on the line, Conan battles the fierce warrior Zemba in a clash of blades and wills beneath a blood-red moon.
In "The Hand of Nergal!", Conan, a mercenary in the Turanian army, finds himself caught in a brutal war against the forces of Munthassem Khan, where sorcery and steel clash on a blood-soaked battlefield. As dark forces stir in the ruined city of Yaralet, Conan must survive both the fury of war and the whispers of ancient evil before riding off into the unknown with Hildico.
In "The Shadow in the Tomb!", Conan finds himself deep in enemy territory, fighting alongside the Turanian army against the savage Hill-Men in the hilly countryside. As the battle rages, he’s haunted by a chilling sight—his own shadow moves on its own, turning against him in a fight that blurs the line between enemy and self. The final panel holds a subtle, unsettling clue, one that lingers long after the last page.
In "The Temptress in the Tower of Flame!", Conan navigates the treacherous streets of Wan Tengri, where he plays spy for the Turanian army and faces the deadly Shamash. With cunning and steel, he stirs chaos in the city’s heart, igniting civil war and breaking the chains of a captive princess.
In "Beware the Hyrkanians Bearing Gifts...!", Conan returns to the Turan capital of Aghrapur, where he once again proves his worth by rescuing King Yildiz from a deadly stone golem. Amid the city’s shifting politics and ancient sorcery, Conan finds himself drawn back into a tangled web of loyalty and desire, as his bond with Amytis tests the limits of trust in a land where even allies may hide a blade.
In "The Warrior and the Were-Woman!", Conan finds himself entangled in treachery and terror in the heart of Aghrapur, where loyalty is a blade with two edges. Betrayed by Amytis and hunted by the savage Lilitu the were-woman, the Cimmerian must fight his way through blood and sorcery to escape the Turan Army's grasp.
In the cursed shadows of Shadizar the Wicked, Conan and the warrior-singer Laza-Lanti face the monstrous Lord of the Dark Valley in a clash of steel and sorcery. As the dust settles, a haunting bond between Laza-Lanti and the mysterious Timara unfolds, leading to a tragic choice that echoes beyond death.
In "Wolf-Woman!", Conan ventures into the desolate western wastelands and storms the fortress of Castle Ravengard, where he and Lupalina battle their way through deadly traps and enemies to rescue the captive Stefanya. With steel and cunning, Conan confronts the monstrous Torkal Moh, striking a blow that leaves his fate uncertain.
Conan awakens aboard a slave ship, bound for a fate he won’t accept. With quick thinking and ruthless resolve, he rallies the chained crew, seizes control of the vessel, and sets course south, chasing a Stygian galley through treacherous waters.
