Conan the Adventurer: The Original Comics Years Omnibus Vol. 1 - (Conan the Barbarian Omnibus) by Roy Thomas (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Conan the Adventurer collected for the first time ever and given the now classic Omnibus collection treatment! Featuring unseen bonus material and an all-new introduction!

A year after the demise of the legendary Conan the Barbarian comic, which had run for 275 issues, Conan the Cimmerian returned in Conan the Adventurer, an all-new comic written by Conan stalwart Roy Thomas and illustrated by Rafael Kayanan and John Watkiss.

BEFORE HE WAS KING, HE WAS CONAN THE ADVENTURER!

Aimed at a younger audience the new series chronicled the exploits of a young Conan the Barbarian as he leaves the Cimmerian Snowhawk Tribe for the first time to explore the world beyond.

The series was conceived as a companion to the animated Conan the Adventurer TV show, although it was not an adaptation.

This collection features all 14 issues of the comic run as well as rarely seen bonus material.

With all the classic Conan elements you've come to expect, witchcraft, savage battles, seemingly insurmountable odds, and fantastically detailed and rendered action scenes.

Given the unique Omnibus treatment this is a must for any hard-core Conan fan.

Written by Roy Thomas with artwork by Rafael Kayanan and John Watkiss.
