Description

In an Omnibus extravaganza that covers the entire run of writer Michael Fleisher's two years on Conan the Barbarian, artist John Buscema turns in page after page of iconic artwork -- often inked by the great Ernie Chan and Big John himself. Buscema also takes a turn as plotter, helping bring to life a series of exciting stories featuring Conan opposite some of his most mysterious foes and an old friend: The scheming Jergal Zadh, the magic-wielding Alhambra, the conniving Baron Vjerzak and Conan's old comrade Fafnir! Plus: two mighty Annuals -- one pitting Conan against an ancient mystical menace and the other against a god -- and a classic issue of What If that asks the question: what if Conan was stranded in the 20th century This 6th volume continues collects issue 150-171 of Conan the Barbarian, issue #8-9 of the Conan Annual and What If issue #43.
