Requirements: .MOBI reader, 6.80MB
Overview: In thousands of four-color panels for Marvel Comics, Roy Thomas told the tale of Robert E. Howard’s greatest creation, Conan the Barbarian. Now, in this definitive biography and analysis, Thomas chronicles Conan’s comic-book life, issue by issue, plot by plot and artist by artist.
For ten years, from October 1970, when Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith assembled the first issue of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian, to October 1980, when Thomas and artist John Buscema completed their last issue together on the series, Thomas wrote of Conan’s gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, as well as the wars, the wenches and the wizardry that bedeviled the Cimmerian from one issue to the next.
In this first volume, Thomas explains the creative process behind the first 51 issues of Conan the Barbarian. You’ll look over his shoulder as he plots and scripts each issue, devises new adventures for Conan that expand Howard’s original stories into a world-spanning epic and works with such Conan artists as Barry Windsor-Smith, Gil Kane and John Buscema.
Whether you’re a Conan fan or a comics fan, you’ll enjoy this in-depth look at a Marvel Comics’ classic.
