Conan the Barbarian: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus



Collecting CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1-26 from 1970-1973—as well as material from 1971’s SAVAGE TALES #1 and #4, CHAMBER OF DARKNESS #4, and CONAN CLASSIC #1-11—the CONAN THE BARBARIAN: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS omnibus presents each story in all its glory, from covers to letter pages, all painstakingly restored to match the beauty of the original editions.

Relive the early exploits of Conan across shining kingdoms of an age undreamed of, as he becomes thief, slayer and a legend.

I have already started saving my Mongolian Tögrögs

I guess we'll be getting the uncensored versions (Savage Tales) of the Frost Giant's Daughter & Dweller in the Dark?

... and if I remember correctly there's an additional Red Sonja panel from CtB 24.

Let's have a butcher's at a couple of scans of the original pages alongside the preview pages of the Omnibus.

It seems like this will be one of their $100-125 hardcover omnibuses, correct?

Yes, probably similar to the recent Master of Kung Fu omnibus series

I have all of the Spider-Man and X-men hardcovers (crosses fingers for Volumes 4 for each!), and must say that I am surprised, and pleased, by the quality. Very nice, solid binding and printing. Even though I own everything Marvel Conan-wise, some in multiple formats, I will probably pick this up.

I've the three Claremont X-Men and the first MoKF omnis. and they are excellent quality wise.

Here's the (very) rough take I posted over at the marvel masterworks board of what a possible mapping for the three main titles could look like:

CONAN THE BARBARIAN

VOLUME 1-CTB 1-26, ST 1 & 4, CC 1-11

V2-CTB 27-51, ST 2-5, SSOC 1 and material from MTE 4 and Red Nails special

V3-CTB 52-83, MF 6-7, MTE 15

V4-CTB 84-115

V5-CTB 116-140 & Annual 6

V6-CTB 141-165 & Annuals 8 & 9

V7-CTB 166-190 & Annual 10 & 11

V8-CTB 191-215 and Annual 12

V9-CTB 216-240

V10-CTB 241-263 and SSOC 2 (Black Colossus in color)

V11-CTB 264-275, SSOC 218-221, 223-224, 226, 229-235 and GN Ravagers at the End of Time

KING CONAN

OMNIBUS V1-KC 1-8, CTB Annual 2, 4 & 5, GSC 1-4 and material from SSOC 8, 10 & 30

V2-KC 9-19, CTK 20-26

V3-CTK 27-40

V4-CTK 41-55 and GN Conan of the Isles.

I never finished the SSOC mapping, I had some giant volumes trying to encompass all the Kull Solomon Kane and Red Sonja material. These should probably end up running close to 800-900 pages. Here's the first few (I have articles included, if they leave them out, it might save at least one volume):


OMNIBUS V1-ST 1-5, SSOC 1-10, Kull & the Barbarians 1-3 and material from Monsters Unleashed #1

V2-SSOC 11-21

V3-SSOC 22-30, MSS #2 plus I threw in B&W versions of Phoenix on the Sword and Red Shadows

V4-SSOC 31-39, MSS 9 plus a B&W version of Thing from the Crypt

V5-SSOC 40-52, I also threw in Marvel Preview #19 (Kull)

V6-SSOC 53-64, Marvel Preview 26 (Kull) and Epic Illustrated 2-5 (Almuric)

V7-SSOC 65-79, plus Men of the Shadows collected together to wrap up Roy's involvement

V8-SSOC 80-95

V9-SSOC 96-110

V10-SSOC 111-125

Looks that way at the moment. Volume 1 came in at 720 pages for $125, so that’s the template moving forward.
