Product Description:
Imagine a world of gods and demons, where men are warriors, women are beautiful, life is a fantastic adventure, and the fate of kingdoms balances on the bloody blade of a fabulous hero: Conan of the iron thews, the blue-eyed barbarian giant who towers above the savage Hyborian world.
For the very first time in trade, this is the work that relaunched Conan in both the 1970s and 80s, back in print after more than a decade.
Come live the adventure again.

This book reprints some of the Conan stories Lin Carter and L. Sprague de Camp wrote from the 1950s (de Camp) to the 1970s (Carter). None are great. De Camp has been revered as the man who kept Conan alive with the Gnome Press editions in the `50s. He has also been vilified as the man who changed Howard's original tales into something else. Carter came along when Lancer Books was reprinting the Conan stores, and added a few of his own, usually with more of a dark magic theme than de Camp.

Conan is one of the great characters from fantasy literature. Immensely powerful physically, keen witted, iron willed, and incredibly audacious... the barbarian from the bleak hills of Cimmeria is the star of many highly entertaining stories.
The bad news is that none of those stories appear in this book. Robert E. Howard was the creator of Conan and none of his stories appear in this volume. What is here is the work of enthusiatic but far less talented individuals who were such big ... Read More
