The Coming of Conan!
The greatest saga in sword-and-sorcery history begins - the saga of Conan! Born on a battlefield in the frozen lands of Cimmeria, Conan fights his way through the untamed Hyborian kingdoms, sparing no man, woman or wizard his wrath. His adventures will become legend. He will become king. Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith bring Robert E. Howard's iconic creation to four-color life with work that set new standards for comic book storytelling! THE COMING OF CONAN! Come with us to the HYBORIAN AGE. That is the first words to this comic. We see Our hero/barbarian on the splash page sword in hand and a lovely blonde sitting near his left knee. We start in summer in Vanaheim. A battle is being waged by raiding Aesirs with the defending Vanirs and of course Conan is in the middle of this too. He is in his youth at this time and he sees an Aesir being attacked and here he decides that it is not to do with him because he has earned his gold. But why let 3 jackals live? His response, By Crom they should not and by crom they shall not. You know what happens next. He takes a swipe with his sword and kills 2 helping Olav of Aesgaard. The Vanirs flee leaving Conan and his party some time to heal wounds and bury the dead ones.Olav talks strategy with Conan and why he joined his side. Meanwhile the retreating Vanirs are left to their own accord. The leader Volff and his aide Hothar leave the rest to be slaughtered and run into a cave with glowing green light and an old man and young girl
