Savage Sword of Conan Omnibus #1

Boris Vallejo's painted cover sets the tone perfectly for this Panini omnibus — a massively built Conan charges through a horde of armored skeletal warriors, sword raised and blood-streaked, while a fierce red-haired warrior woman fights at his side, shield and blade in hand. Skulls litter the ground beneath them as wave after wave of undead combatants close in from every direction, capturing the raw, mythic energy that defines the Hyborian Age. Collecting work by Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and Barry Windsor-Smith, this 2023 volume is a genuinely satisfying way to experience some of sword-and-sorcery's most celebrated storytelling in one substantial package.
