About this Collection

This volume collects issues #118–126 of the original Marvel Comics series, featuring the further adventures of Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian. The title story, 'The Beast King of Abombi,' sees Conan confronting a monstrous ruler in a savage land, alongside other tales of sword-and-sorcery action. This Dark Horse edition reprints the classic 1970s and 1980s stories with their original coloring and artwork by artists like John Buscema and Ernie Chan.

In "Savage Doings in Shem!", Conan faces a deadly reckoning when Belit’s greed claims her and her crew, only for her to return from the dead with a vengeance. As the ship Tigress burns, Conan honors her with a funeral pyre set adrift on the sea. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with John Buscema’s dynamic art and Ernie Chan’s sharp inks, this issue blends mythic tragedy with the brutal beauty of the Hyborian Age. The cover by John Buscema and Ernie Chan captures the moment’s haunting intensity.
