Description
xConan at his finest! Savage, brutal and always... EPIC!
Freed from the strict Comic Code Authority stamp of approval, the Savage Sword of Conan magazine was always more hard-hitting and savage than its sister title Conan the Barbarian, and featured more action, violence and raunch and Omnibus Volume 5 of the original comic series is no exception.
This volume sees Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones joining stalwart regular Roy Thomas on the writing duties, and artist Ernie Chan joining legends Ernie Colan and Gil Kane on art duties. Omnibus Volume 5 carries on the legacy in fine form! New writers Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones join Conan legend John Buscema to drive the barbarian's black-and-white adventures in savage new directions! To topple a decadent royal, Conan must brave a moat of blood filled with gruesome monsters. The barbarian survives a ship capsizing in storm-tossed seas, only to awaken on the shores of an island filled with beautiful but deadly tiger-riding women warriors! Then, sadistic King Razak lures Conan into a death-filled maze. Writer Roy Thomas returns for a locked-door mystery set at sea, with Conan playing the sleuth. Plus, comic art master Alex Toth delivers a stunning Conan art portfolio. This volume also brings back fan-favorite characters like Jenna and Murilo to the supporting cast. This volume sees classic stories such as "Plunder of Death Island", "Dwellers in the Depths", 'The Sea of No Return" and "Lurker in the Labyrinth" giving full reign to the savagery of Conan. Featuring the usual assortment of superb pin up art by some true greats of the comic book form. This book also features a section of rarely seen bonus material! Collecting: Savage Sword of Conan (1974) #61-72

xMICHAEL LAWRENCE FLEISHER was a writer known for his DC Comics of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly for the characters Spectre and Jonah Hex. Michael also wrote three volumes of The Encyclopaedia of Comic Books Heroes. His first story published in 1972 "Death at Castle Dunbar" in Secrets of Sinister House #5. Went on to write for House of Mystery and House of Secrets. He scripted Shade, the Changing Man in the late 1970s, and contributed to the Batman mythos in the early 1980s. He was responsible for writing the origin of The Penguin. ROY THOMAS joined Marvel as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every Marvel title: The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, The Sub-Mariner, Thor, The X-Men and more. He wrote the first ten years of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched the Defenders, Iron Fist, The Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America. He co-scripted the sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer. Throughout it all, Thomas has edited the award-winning magazine Alter Ego, contributing heartily to the research and history of the medium. JOHN BUSCEMA is best known for his run on the series The Avengers and Silver Surfer, and for over 200 stories featuring the sword-and-sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian, which he took the pencilling from Barry Windsor-Smith. In addition, he pencilled at least one issue of nearly every major Marvel title, including long runs on two of the company's top magazines, Fantastic Four and Thor. In 1978 he collaborated with Stan Lee to produce the book How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way which has never been out of print and still remains one of the best books available on the subject of drawing comics. His list of credits runs into the hundreds and includes such legendary characters as Doc Savage, The Punisher, Daredevil, Captain America, Deathlok and Tarzan.
He was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2002. GIL KANE.

He was also an early pioneer of the graphic novel format with his book: His Name is...Savage. He was inducted into both the Wil Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.
