Collecting issues #1-19 of King Conan (1980) this 776-page epic omnibus heralds a new era for Conan and features the creative talents of such luminaries as Roy Thomas, Doug Moench, John Buscema and Marc Silvestri.

From the battlefield to the throne room, from barbarian to legendary monarch, the timeless saga of Conan reaches the time when he at last became KING!

ALL HAIL KING CONAN!

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

A new era begins with adventures set after Conan has deposed the tyrant Numedides to become ruler of Aquilonia. But Conan on the throne is still Conan. The savage action that made him a comic book legend fills page after page, while palace intrigue adds a new level of drama with Queen Zenobia and Prince Conn, the heir to the throne, taking prominent roles. Old nemeses like Thoth-Amon return, and mystical prophecy ties Conan to the first king of the realm. Each issue is a double-sized extravaganza with scripts by the godfather of Conan comics, Roy Thomas, along with Doug Moench and Alan Zelenetz, and artwork by John Buscema and rising star Marc Silvestri.

King Conan The Original Comics Omnibus Volume 1

Lost Marvels No. 1 Tower of Shadows is a must for fans of horror or classic Marvel comics

In 1969, with its revolutionary superhero line well established, Marvel took a chance on the kind of supernatural, EC-style anthology series that had been banned since the formation of the Comics Code in the 1950s. Tower of Shadows featured a staggering array of artists and writers, including Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Gene Colan, Wally Wood, Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, John Romita, Johnny Craig, Marie Severin, Gerry Conway, and Bernie Wrightson, to name a few. Freed from the conventions of the superhero adventure, these creators brought their storytelling skills to a more quietly sinister genre, producing atmospheric gems of twisted suspense and sardonic horror.

Not only do these nine issues feature Marvel’s best creators working at their peak, but Tower of Shadows is one of the lost, never-collected Marvels. In the first of a new series of Lost Marvels, Fantagraphics and Marvel join forces to introduce these pages to a new generation of readers and restore this series to its rightful place in comics history. This gorgeous volume brings every Tower of Shadows story and cover to life in vivid color and features background and analysis by comics journalist Michael Dean.

Story: Jim Steranko, Johnny Craig, Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gary Friedrich, Neal Adams, Len Wein, Allyn Brodsky, Marv Wolfman, Tom Sutton, Roy Thomas, Wallace Wood, Gerry Conway, Steve Skeates
Art: Jim Steranko, Johnny Craig, John Romita, Don Heck, John Buscema, Neal Adams, Gene Colan, George Tuska, Marie Severin, Tom Sutton, Barry Windsor-Smith, Wallace Wood, Syd Shores

In THE TREASURE OF TRANICOS, Conan matches wits with a band of pirates who’d rather kill each other than share any of the loot – all while the wicked Thoth-Amon stalks them from the shadows.
