Description
Conan the Cimmerian Book One is a collection of Robert E. Howard's first thirteen Conan stories, presented in their original versions, with profuse illustrations by Mark Schultz. This volume brings together some of the most iconic tales from the Hyborian Age, including "The Tower of the Elephant" and "Queen of the Black Coast". It also features previously unpublished material, including Howard's first submitted draft of "Phoenix on the Sword" and a map of Conan's world drawn by the author himself. Within these pages, readers will encounter Conan in various guises - as a raw and dangerous youth, a daring thief, a swashbuckling pirate, and a commander of armies. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a master storyteller, whose bold style has been widely imitated but never equaled. With its richly detailed world and memorable characters, Conan the Cimmerian Book One is a must-have for fans of dark fantasy and adventure.
