In the early 2000s, publisher Wandering Star sought to produce the most luxurious and definitive editions of the works of Robert E. Howard. They created two beautiful volumes of the Complete Conan before closing shop. (The third/final volume was released by another publisher.)

This first volume of the Complete Conan features illustrations by Mark Schultz: seven paintings and 74 pen and inks.

It includes previously unpublished drafts, synopses, and fragments by Howard; two maps of the Hyborian Age drawn by Howard's own hand; and 36 pages of appendices & notes.

Long out of print, we have pristine new copies still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap.
