CONAN THE BARBARIAN THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL 10 HC MCFARLANE CVR

Roy Thomas is back! The writer who made Robert E. Howard's CONAN THE BARBARIAN one of the most popular and influential comics in Marvel history returned to close out the series' record-setting original run! With artist collaborators MICHAEL Docherty and Gary Hartle, Thomas charted a path for Conan that took him from the shores of the Western Sea to the top of the Mount of Crom, from the desert lands fringing the Vilayet Sea to the deadly forests of the Pictish wilderness, reconnecting with the classic legacy of Howard but also bringing in contemporary additions to the Conan mythos like the Devourer of Souls, the sword-thief Isparana and Varnae, First Lord of Vampires.

As CONAN THE BARBARIAN closed out the 1980s, it was a time of transition for the title - with storytelling innovations coming from veteran creators and new talent alike!

In the late '80s, artist Val Semeiks took the reins on Conan the Barbarian injecting a powerful new energy into the series. Semeiks' work was a force multiplier for the latter half of Christopher Priest's era-defining run. Together, they crafted one of the greatest Conan epics of all time, a massive storyline building issue #200 and a showdown with the Devourer of Souls.

He was the writer that would put Black Panther back on the map of popularity in the late '90s, but in the '80s, Christopher Priest was editing-and writing-tales of Conan the Barbarian!
