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 second volume of the Complete Conan features illustrations by Gary Gianni: eight paintings & 82 pen & inks.
It includes three novels: The People of the Black Circle, The Hour of the Dragon, and A Witch Shall Be Born. Plus, previously unpublished drafts, synopses & fragments by Howard; and 24 pages of appendices & notes.
Long out of print, we have pristine new copies still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap.
