Conan the Barbarian 1-3 Slipcase Set

This illustrious box set contains the first three volumes of Conan the Barbarian comics. A new era of Conan begins, perfectly collected for the first time for fans to enjoy again and again!

Volume 1: Pirate! Thief! Mercenary and warrior, the legendary Conan the Barbarian is back! Armed with just his wits and his sword, Conan sets out for the first time from his beloved Cimmeria in search of glory and adventure. Often copied, but never bettered, this is the welcome return of the first and mightiest hero ever to stride the world. On the eve of his first major battle, young Conan of Cimmeria pictures a life beyond the borders of his homeland and yearns for a life of adventure undreamt of in his small village.

Visions of future allies and unspeakable evils he will eventually encounter throughout his fabled career fill his mind, as he makes the choice to take his first fateful step into the Hyborian Age. Volume 2: After adventures on the high seas, CONAN returns to shore to find himself haunted by his memories of BELIT, captain of the Tigress and Queen of the Black Coast. Can a high-stakes heist draw him out of his tortured past, or will it plunge him deeper into the chaos that has always been waiting for him? Volume 3: Sent back in time to the Thurian Age, Conan battles terrifying creatures and meets Kull the Conqueror, a barbarian-king as strong as himself.

Although these two legends begin at odds, they quickly realize they must quest together to stop the dark machinations of Thulsa Doom, an ancient necromancer who has contacted a mysterious evil beyond time and space to strengthen his already impressive mystic power. A must-have collection for fans of the Conan comics and Robert E. Howard stories, plus all those who love heroic blood-soaked action-adventure and ancient arcane wizardry! Includes 3 exclusive art cards!
