Conan's stunning debut at Dark Horse was one of the biggest events in the comics industry in 2004. Series writer Kurt Busiek, who brought a fresh perspective to the superhero genre with books like Marvels and Astro City, teamed with acclaimed artist Cary Nord on a book that would quickly climb the charts and the recommendation lists, and win the enthusiastic acclaim of readers everywhere.
This new vision of Conan marks a return to the roots of the character with stories drawn directly from the original writings of Conan creator Robert E. Howard and a tip of the hat to that ultimate barbarian artist, Frank Frazetta. Howard invented a raw and explosive brand of fantasy with Conan and this volume presents that style translated to a visual medium like never before. These Conan tales feature all the power of the pulps, but with the depth and complexity of storytelling that modern readers have come to expect.
Beginning with an adaptation of Howard's classic "The Frost-Giant's Daughter," these stories relate Conan's earliest adventures outside of his homeland, where he journeys into the cold and inhuman north - a place where gods and monsters build terrible monuments in their own honor, driving flesh and blood before them like the plowed earth.
