The illustrated adventures of the fearless hero included in the book you are holding have all the ingredients that made Robert E. Howard's stories so beloved: exciting plot, epic feats, beautiful heroines as well as powerful, envious wizards.

The first story is titled "The People of the Black Circle" and is an adaptation of the American author's short story, which was published in the magazine Weird Tales in 1934. As the leader of the Afghan tribe, Conan confronts the evil Black Prophets of Mount Yimsha.

The second story, titled "The Curse of the Necromancer," is a loose adaptation of a Howard story that does not fit into the Conan mythology, but it is the first material for an exciting adventure, where the Cimmerian hero joins forces with the legendary Red Sonja to face a supernatural threat.

Roy Thomas and Steve Buscema, creators of the classic series "Conan the Barbarian" and "The Savage Sword of Conan," bring to life the adventures of one of the greatest heroes of modern fantasy literature.
