This volume contains some of the most ambitious adaptations of Conan material to date, reprinting the epic battle that leads to Conan becoming the king of Aquilonia in ''Conan the Liberator,'' the sword and sorcery classic ''Sword of Skelos,'' and the exhilarating ''Conan and the Sorcerer.'' Collecting selections from ''The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian'' issues 49 through 60, this volume also includes the frontispieces and pinups from each issue, drawn by such amazing talent as Ernie Chan, Carl Potts, and Neal Adams! As a special bonus, you'll find a companion piece to ''Savage Sword Volume 1's'', ''A Witch Shall Be Born'' story, which hasn't seen print since its original publication in 1980!
