In an omnibus extravaganza that covers the entire run of writer Michael Fleisher’s two years on CONAN THE BARBARIAN, artist John Buscema turns in page after page of iconic artwork — often inked by the great Ernie Chan and by Big John himself! Buscema also takes a turn as plotter, helping bring to life a series of exciting stories featuring Conan opposite some of his most mysterious foes and an old friend: the scheming Jergal Zadh, the magic-wielding Alhambra, the conniving Baron Vjerzak and Conan’s old comrade Fafnir! Plus: Two mighty annuals — one pitting Conan against an ancient mystical menace and the other against a god — and a classic issue of WHAT IF? that asks the question: What if Conan were stranded in the twentieth century? Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #150-171, CONAN ANNUAL #8-9 and WHAT IF? (1977) #43.
