“Between your years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming places . . . there was an Age group undreamed of, when glowing kingdoms lay propagate across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars. . . . Hither came up Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand . . . to tread
the jeweled thrones of the planet earth under his sandalled toes.”
Conan is one of the greatest fictional heroes ever before created–a swordsman who slashes a swath across the lands of the Hyborian Age group, facing powerful sorcerers, lethal animals, and ruthless armies of thieves and reavers.
In a meteoric career that spanned only twelve years before his tragic suicide, Robert E. Howard single-handedly created the genre that had become called sword and sorcery. Gathered in this size, profusely illustrated by artist Mark Schultz, are Howard’s first thirteen Conan testimonies, showing in their original variants–in some instances for the first time in more than seventy years–and in the order Howard wrote them. Along with classics of dark fantasy like “The Tower of the Elephant” and swashbuckling excitement like “Queen of the African american Coast,” The Arriving of Conan the Cimmerian includes an abundance of material never before published in america, including the first submitted draft of Conan’s debut, “Phoenix on the Sword,” Howard’s synopses for “The Scarlet Citadel” and “African american Colossus,” and a map of Conan’s world attracted by the writer himself.
Here are classic tales displaying Conan the fresh and dangerous children, Conan the daring thief, Conan the swashbuckling pirate, and Conan the commander of armies. Here, too, can be an unparalleled glimpse into the mind of any genius whose vivid storytelling style has been imitated by many, yet equaled by nothing.
