Conan's stunning debute at Dark Horse was one of the biggest events in the comic industry in 2004. Series writer Kurt Busiek, who brought a fresh perspective to the superhero genre with books like Marvel 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. Hoawrd and a trip of the hat to the ultimate barbarian artists, Frank Frazetta. Howad 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 of 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 honoe, driving flesh and blood before them like the plowed earth.

"Writer Kurt Busiek treats [Conan] with the dignified respect due one of the towering figures in fantasy literature... it feels like historians unearthed a vibrant, bloody tapestry. These are, once again, the days of high adventure."
- Entertainment Weekly

"It's the delicate dance of writer Kurt Busiek's poetic narrative set against Cary Nord's breathtaking and bloody art that make this as classic as the Cimmerian himself. Bravo."
- Wizard Magazine
