Plot
Cover by Earl Norem. Introduction by Roy Thomas. Afterword by P. Craig Russell.
The majestic art of legendary black-and-white magazine THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN is presented in a deluxe hardcover art book worthy of Crom himself!
Following the massive success of Marvel's color CONAN THE BARBARIAN comic, the Hyborian was given his own B&W magazine to better capture the bone-crushing action of the barbarian's world. Stripped down to pencil-and-inks essentials, Conan took on a new savagery drawn by masters such as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema and Ernie Chan. The series' fully painted covers featured gorgeous illustrations by Boris Vallejo, Michael Kaluta, Earl Norem and others - while the many pinups and spot illustrations are hidden gems waiting to be rediscovered by Conan fans.
With 235 issues in its epic history, there is no shortage of mind-blowing SAVAGE SWORD art - and this deluxe hardcover shares the best of it!
