Item Description

In the Fall of 1970, over 50 years ago, Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith crafted a comic that is still hailed as one of the best series ever -- Marvel's CONAN the BARBARIAN. It sprang up on newsstand shelves as something entirely different from all the tights and capes next to it, and acclaim and enthusiasm built like an avalanche! Robert E. Howard had created CONAN in the 1930s, and there had even been a Mexican CONAN comic book in the 1950s, but it took Marvel, Thomas and Windsor-Smith to create a true sensation!

CONAN THE BARBARIAN #7 is set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age and gives us "The Lurker Within" - adapted by Roy Thomas and Barry Smith from themes in Robert E. Howard's pulp oeuvre.

On his travels in Nemedia, CONAN comes across a spoiled noble woman, Lady Aztrias, under attack by wolves. He chases the animals off and, in order to safely pass through Numalia's city gates, accompanies the woman as her chariot driver.

Aztrias hires CONAN to steal from the wealthy merchant Kallian, who temporarily houses a mysterious bowl from Stygia, said to contain a great treasure. CONAN burgles the merchant's house, finds the bowl empty and Kallian dead. CONAN is accused of the murder. but the real killer is in the bowl -- a huge serpent with a human head! CONAN kills the sepent-man and in a vision, CONAN sees the Stygian sorcerer Thoth-Amon.

This 52 year-old copy of CONAN THE BARBARIAN #7 is in exceptionally nice condition - no stress lines, bent corners or toning - the cover still has its gloss and the pages are near-white with bright colors. Overstreet values an 8.0 VF copy at $38 -- however, we think you'll enjoy saving a bit of coin and we're parting with it for just $24, coupled with our L•O•W shipping!
