“No one has done more to popularize Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian than Roy Thomas, whose thrilling stories and brilliant editing propelled the world's favorite barbarian to the list of Marvel Comics' best-sellers for more than a decade.
And now Roy has brought his knowledge and skills to bear in this ultimate guide, a fan's dream come true.”

–STAN LEE, creator of The Amazing Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four

In the world of fantasy, one hero towers above all others, Conan. He is the iron-willed warrior from the North whose daring conquests and extraordinary adventures have captured the imaginations of writers, artists, and fans in the seventy years since Robert E. Howard first wrote of the barbaric conqueror. This September, for the first time, all of his bloody exploits, strange encounters, fiendish nemeses, and dazzling heroines are gathered together in one lavishly illustrated guide to the life and many near-deaths of Robert E. Howard’s most celebrated and enduring creation, Conan the Cimmerian.

Conan: The Ultimate Guide to the World’s Most Savage Barbarian is a treasure trove of stories and art for fans both new and old, covering Conan’s life, from his birth on a blood-soaked battlefield to his brutal usurpation of the throne of the Hyborian Age’s most glorious kingdom. Written by renowned Conan author and scholar Roy Thomas and featuring a foreword by Todd McFarlane, this invaluable tome contains over 300 images from some of the genre’s foremost artists, including John Buscema, Frank Frazetta, Gary Gianni, Ken Kelly, Gregory Manchess, Cary Nord, Alex Ross, Mark Schultz, Barry Windsor-Smith, and many more.
