The Savage Sword of Conan: The Original Comics Omnibus #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAbout this Collection
This first omnibus volume collects the earliest issues of the classic black-and-white magazine series, featuring Conan in his original comic adventures from the 1970s. The stories, drawn by legendary artists and written by Roy Thomas among others, adapt Robert E. Howard's tales and expand the Hyborian world with appearances by characters like Bêlit, Red Sonja, and King Kull. It's a comprehensive starting point for fans of sword-and-sorcery and the definitive Conan magazine run.
"The Frost Giant's Daughter" kicks off this definitive omnibus with Conan returning to his homeland, Cimmeria, only to find his childhood love, Mala, taken by Vanir raiders. Pursuing them across storm-lashed seas, he stumbles upon a shipwrecked vessel littered with the corpses of Vanir and Picts, and a mysterious dark idol that will draw him into a deadly clash on the Isle of Swords. With art by Gil Kane and Neal Adams, and covers by Boris Vallejo, this landmark tale blends mythic dread and brutal adventure—written by Robert E. Howard and Roy Thomas, and brought to life with powerful inks and vivid color by Pablo Marcos and others.
