Publisher Description. Conan the Barbarian – Colossal Edition is an Artist’s Edition-style oversized 12″ x 17″ book that features 190+ pages of full-size scans of the original comic art pages pulled from throughout the original classic run of Conan comics and magazines. Gathered into one beautiful hardcover for the first time ever, explore the timeless works by legendary Conan artists John Buscema, Barry Windsor-Smith, Gil Kane, and a host of others in the most vivid detail possible!
Divided into three sections; the first three each shine a torchlight on the work of one of the greatest sword-and-sorcery artists of all time: John Buscema, Gil Kane, and Barry Windsor-Smith. Each section pulls pages from the decades of incomparable artistry that filled the pages of Conan the Barbarian, King Conan, The Savage Sword of Conan, Giant-Size Conan, Savage Tales, What If?, Conan the Barbarian Movie Special, and more!
Each artist’s section is presented in chronological order, so you can see how their individual approaches changed over the course of decades, all bracketing the centerpiece of this collection – the complete story “Devil-Wings Over Shadizar” from Conan the Barbarian #6 by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, and Sal Buscema, with every page presented in full incredible detail.
The book concludes with an extended section of key pages by other incredible artists – some regularly associated with CONAN and some thrilling surprises, including: Art Adams, Neal Adams, Alfredo Alcala, Enrique Alcatena, Ernie Chan, Howard Chaykin, Joe Choido, Tim Conrad, Geof Isherwood, Gary Kwapisz, Jim Lee, Esteban Maroto, John McCrea, Rudy Nebres, Alex Nino, Kevin Nolan, Tony Salmons, Bill Sienkiewicz, Alex Toth, and Jorge Zaffino.
