Savage Sword Of Conan: The Original Comics Omnibus
More savage, brutal and epic in scope than its sister title Conan the Barbarian.
Volume 7 sees Conan doing what he does best, slaughtering, pillaging and wenching. This Omnibus edition is packed with Conan classics, with stories by Michael Fleisher and art by all-time legendary John Buscema!
Savage Sword enters an exciting new era with the first appearance of one of Conan's deadliest super-villain adversaries, Wrarrl, better known as the Devourer of Souls! He earned that title by consuming the life force of anyone standing in his way - but he never met a foe as ardent as Conan! Their iconic battle is the first of several engagements between the two in Marvel Conan lore. And returning to menace Conan is another of his legendary rogue's gallery, Captain Bor'aqh Sharaq, believed to be dead but hunting Conan on a quest for vengeance! Showcasing double-length stories written almost exclusively by Michael Fleisher and featuring artwork from John Buscema as the lead artist with assists from Nestor Redondo, Ernie Chan. Also featuring art from Val Mayerik and Alfredo Alcala, with inks by Ernie Chan, Pablo Marcos, Ruby Nebres and Vince Colletta.

John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist-namely, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way-and few were better qualified. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title-including over 100 issues of his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
Alfredo Alcala's work includes Weird War Tales, Tarzan, Savage Sword of Conan and Planet of the Apes.
