New Releases by Val Semeiks

As Conan the Barbarian closed out the 1980s, it became a time of transition for the title, with storytelling innovations coming from veteran creators and new talent alike. In Val Semeiks'' climactic run on the title, Conan weighs pleasure and pain in a magical desert city, wrests the Blade of Zed from a mad cleric, and runs a gantlet of fantastic beasts in a city of shadows. Larry Hama delivers the elegiac verse of "Drumsong" while Don Perlin writes and draws the Western-styled "The Mask of Vengeance." Gerry Conway makes Conan a cat''s paw to a cult of cat people, after which Michael Higgins turns back the clock for an eight-issue "Young Conan" storyline exploring Conan''s formative years in Cimmeria. COLLECTING: Conan the Barbarian (1970) 214-240, What If? (1989) 16

Tras la muerte del rey, el reino de Koth se ha sumido en el caos. Conan, caudillo del monarca, podría ser la única persona con bastante poder -y, desde luego, la única a la que el pueblo respeta lo suficiente- como para conseguir que las aguas vuelvan a su cauce. Ahora bien, no podemos olvidar el pequeño detalle... ¡de que fue el bárbaro quien mató al rey! En cualquier caso, cabe la posibilidad de que el cimmerio vaya a tener que enfrentarse a un problema mucho mayor que mantener la paz, ¡porque el Devorador de Almas ha vuelto y el alma que tiene pensado devorar es la del bárbaro! Este volumen de Las crónicas de Conan recoge, por primera vez, historias de Conan el Bárbaro descatalogadas hace veinticinco años ¡y con los colores originales, recuperados mediante técnicas digitales! Incluye Conan the Barbarian #190-#199.

In this instalment, Conan is pitted against ''The Great Devil'' - Heku, the father of Conan''s friend and comrade Kobe.

All Kobe has on his side are his sword and the friendship of Conan - but that might just be enough!
