Chronicles of Conan Volume 1: Tower of the Elephant & Other Stories TPB
Dark Horse Comics, 144 full color pages

Here I bring you yet another masterpiece - Chronicles of Conan collected in a trade paperback. These are the old stories from the early 1970s, when Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian exploded on to the comics scene.
Writer Roy Thomas teamed with a young artist named Barry Smith, and together two of them mapped out some of the most stirring and memorable Conan adventures to come along since those written by Howard himself.
Over the course of their 24 issue run together, Thomas and Smith defined Conan for a generation of comics readers, and now those stories are collected here in a series of trade paperbacks. Featuring completely remastered color and text corrections, and containing material not available for nearly thirty years, these books are the perfect companions to the upcoming all-new Conan series from Dark Horse.
Nine of these trade paperbacks have been published so far, and I really recommend it to every Conan fan. Also a great introduction to Conan beginners!
