Writer Kurt Busiek and artist Greg Ruth team up to give you the story of Conan's early life, from his birth on a Cimmerian battlefield to his coming-of-age as a warrior in the pivotal Battle of Venarium.
Sewing the seeds of the Barbarian's momentous career, this chronicle of Conan's youthful conquests- both martial and carnal-also showcases master storytellers Busiek and Ruth's work at its finest. Ruth's art is gorgeous to look at, conveying a different but equally lush vision of Cimmeria and the rest of Hyborea.
