Marvel Graphic Novel: Conan of the Isles

Marvel’s 1988 graphic novel Conan of the Isles teams writer Roy Thomas with artist John Buscema for an epic, oversized tale drawn from the prose novel by Lin Carter and L. Sprague de Camp. Set near the end of Conan’s life, this single-issue hardcover finds the aging king facing a final, sweeping adventure that connects the Hyborian Age to the modern world. A key entry in Marvel’s late-80s Conan library, it showcases Buscema’s masterful, barbarian-defining artwork and Thomas’s deep knowledge of Robert E. Howard’s mythos.
