Featuring the masterful artwork of Barry Windsor-Smith, Neal Adams, John Buscema, and many other legendary artists, this collection brings to life the epic tales of Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan. From his early days as a young thief to his rise as a mighty warlord, Conan's adventures are a captivating blend of action, adventure, and brutality.

The Early Years

The Epic Collection begins with Conan's formative years, as he roams the Cimmerian wilds, honing his skills as a warrior. In "The Frost Giant's Daughter," Conan faces off against a fearsome giantess in a battle that tests his strength and courage. In "The Tower of the Elephant," he infiltrates a mysterious tower to rescue a beautiful princess, encountering deadly traps and treacherous foes along the way.

As Conan grows older, he leaves Cimmeria and embarks on a series of adventures that take him across the Hyborian Age. In "The Phoenix on the Sword," he joins forces with a wizard to battle a sorcerer who threatens to destroy the world. In "Shadows in Zamboula," he ventures into the exotic lands of the east, where he encounters slavers, harems, and ancient curses.

The Rise of Conan

As Conan's reputation as a warrior spreads, he begins to attract powerful allies and enemies. In "The Hour of the Dragon," he is drawn into a conflict between two rival kingdoms, where he must choose sides and fight for his own survival. In "The Witching Hour," he faces off against an evil sorcerer who possesses the power to control minds.

Through it all, Conan remains a complex and enigmatic figure. He is a barbarian, a warrior, and a wanderer, but he is also a man of honor and compassion. His adventures are a testament to the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

The Art of Conan

The Conan the Barbarian Epic Collection is not just a collection of stories; it is also a showcase of some of the most iconic artwork in comics history. Barry Windsor-Smith's early covers for Conan the Barbarian magazine are legendary for their dynamic compositions and powerful imagery. Neal Adams's work on the character is equally iconic, with his detailed and realistic style capturing the brutality and grandeur of Conan's world.

Other notable artists featured in the collection include John Buscema, Ernie Chan, Tom Grindberg, and Joe Jusko. Each artist brings their own unique vision to Conan, creating a rich and diverse visual tapestry that brings Howard's characters to life.

The Conan the Barbarian Epic Collection is a must-have for any fan of fantasy, adventure, or comics. With its stunning artwork and captivating stories, this collection is a timeless masterpiece that will be enjoyed by generations to come.
