King Conan: The Original Comics Omnibus Vol. 2 - by Roy Thomas & Doug Moench & Alan Zelenetz (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The greatest hero in sword-and-sorcery history. This is the legend of the time when Conan was KING!

ALL HAIL KING CONAN!

Conan the barbarian, the thief, the mercenary, and now... Conan the king!

Believing his favorite son, Conn, to be dead after a reckless campaign in the treacherous region of Gunderland, Conan sets out with his elite squad, the Black Dragons, determined to retrieve his son's body. But Conn is very much alive, and his perilous journey back to his father unfolds alongside Conan's desperate quest.
Tensions rise with Conan's other son, Taurus, who delves into dangerous witchcraft and sorcery, plotting to seize the throne. When a flaming bird, summoned by the malevolent witch Zandra, abducts Taurus, Conan embarks on a daring rescue mission to save his rebellious son.
This is only the beginning of Conan's troubles. He faces relentless palace intrigue, warring factions, and ominous prophecies of war and famine that drive him into a deadly conflict with Nemedia, Aros, Ophir, and the Picts, who all scheme to conquer Aquilonia. Meanwhile, sinister plots brew behind his back as Crasus and Count Barthold conspire against the indomitable king...

Written by Alan Zelenetz and Don Kraar with artwork by Marc Silvestri, Mike Docherty, Judith Hunt, Mike Manley and Geoff Isherwood.
