Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged - Classic Hyborian Adventures Restored in Glorious Full Color!
In the savage world of the Hyborian Age, kingdoms rise and fall by steel and sorcery-and the mighty Conan the Barbarian walks the blood-soaked road between them.
This volume collects three issues of Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged (#4-6), presenting newly restored full-color editions of legendary stories originally published in the classic The Savage Sword of Conan magazine series.
First, Conan journeys into a city sealed for thousands of years in the haunting adaptation of a tale by Robert E. Howard, where dark gods and ancient secrets threaten a kidnapped princess in the classic tale, "Black Colossus". Then the Cimmerian rides into one of the greatest Conan epics ever written-"People of the Black Circle." In this sweeping saga of rival kingdoms, dark conspiracies, and ancient sorcery, Conan battles assassins, monsters, and the sinister Black Seers themselves.
These timeless stories are scripted by legendary Conan writer Roy Thomas and brought to life by the definitive Conan art team of John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala. Buscema's powerful storytelling and heroic figure work combine with Alcala's rich, atmospheric finishes to create some of the most iconic imagery in the history of sword-and-sorcery comics.
Presented in vivid color and an oversized magazine format, this collection offers longtime Conan fans and new readers alike a thrilling gateway into one of fantasy's greatest legends.
