The Savage Sword of Conan, Vol. 1

In the mid 1970s following the colossal success of Conan the Barbarian, Roy Thomas helped expand the universe of Conan to showcase further stories and the talents of some of the comics industry's best with the equally popular Savage Sword of Conan magazine. Now, for the first time in over thirty years, these primal tales, featuring Robert E. Howard's most popular character, are available in this, the first in a series of massive trade paperbacks, collecting all Savage Sword Conan stories beginning with issue one. Included in this volume are tales by Roy Thomas, featuring the breathtaking art of such legends as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Alfredo Alcala, Jim Starlin, Al Milgrom, Pablo Marcos, Walter Simonson and more. But that's not all. Also included in this tome are Conan's few appearances in the title Savage Tales - for the complete Conan collection! more

Great reprint

I'm very happy with Darkhorse's reprints of the Savage Sword of Conan magazines. The quality is excellent and they are collected in the order they were originally printed. The wonderful stories and terrific artwork are still as timeless as they were back in the early 70's.

I'm particularly fond of the Barry Windsor Smith...

Nice trip down memory lane

Savage Sword volume one collects well over 500 pages of the beginning of the series. What makes this book different from any Marvel Essential is that these issues lose no quality, as they were meant to be black and white, and they old magazines aren't as easy to find as some of the Marvel...

EXCELLENT STORIES, GREAT ART, & SUPER VALUE!!

Back during the Seventies Roy Thomas kept the legacy alive of Conan and Robert E. Howard. The book is a tremendous value and a great treasure! All of the stories and art is outstanding. Roy Thomas and John Buscema are my favorite duo! If you can find Conan The Barbarian #275, scarce, which is the...
