☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest Conan stories illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, originally published in Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series. It showcases Windsor-Smith's groundbreaking artwork that helped define the visual look of Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian for a new generation of readers. The collection includes the classic tales that launched the character's Bronze Age comic book success.
"The Coming of Conan!" kicks off a legendary chapter in the Conan mythos, spotlighting the barbarian’s first major adventure in a tale written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with stunning detail by Barry Smith, whose dynamic art is enhanced by Sal Buscema’s inks. In the city of Shadizar, Conan’s path crosses with the enigmatic waitress Jenna, whose abduction by fanatical priests leads to a terrifying encounter with a night god revealed as a colossal bat-like entity—only for the roles to reverse as Jenna outwits her captors and leaves Conan both rescued and robbed. The cover by Barry Smith and John Verpoorten captures the moment’s raw intensity, making this 2010 Dark Horse release a must-have for fans of classic sword and sorcery.
