Gil Kane Variant Cover. First Printing.

Collects Conan the Barbarian #116-149,-7; Conan of the Isles GN, and What If #39.

Conan the Barbarian enters a new creative phase as J.M. DeMatteis ("Kraven's Last Hunt") debuts as series writer. He will take Conan to the magical city in the clouds, Mreead-Zza; return fan-favorites Jenna and Murilo to the supporting cast; and team with John Buscema on a set of stories pitting Conan against Eilaynia, Princess of Mist.

Then, Marvel legend Gil Kane takes the artistic reins for an extended run featuring "The Creation Quest" saga, while writer Bruce Jones (Incredible Hulk) mixes a blend of humor and horror.

Plus: A story illustrated by titans John Buscema and Neal Adams, a pair of Annuals by Roy Thomas, and Thomas and Buscema's Conan of the Isles graphic novel (Based on the story by L. Sprague DeCamp and Lin Carter), reprinted for the first time!

Written by Roy Thomas, Len Wein, J.M. DeMatteis, Larry Hama, Bruce Jones, Steven Grant, Alan Zelenetz, and Mary Jo Duffy.
