☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first eleven issues of Dark Horse's 2007 revival of The Savage Sword of Conan, a black-and-white magazine-format series that continues the tradition of Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian. Featuring stories written by Roy Thomas, with art by a rotating roster of talent including Cary Nord and Tomás Giorello, it adapts classic Howard tales and original adventures in a grittier, more mature style than the color Conan titles. The collection includes issues #1–11 of the series, spanning story arcs like 'The Halls of the Dead' and 'The Blood of Bel-Hissar.'
A bold new chapter in the legendary sword-and-sorcery saga, Savage Sword of Conan #1 (2007) launches with a gripping tale of vengeance and destiny. Written by Robert E. Howard and Roy Thomas, and illustrated with dynamic precision by Gil Kane, Neal Adams, and a stellar team of inkers, this issue follows Conan as he returns to Cimmeria only to find his childhood love, Mala, taken by Vanir raiders. Cover by Boris Vallejo, the issue blends mythic dread and raw action as Conan journeys to the Isle of Swords, where fate and fury collide.
