As the son of a blacksmith, Conan was destined for a life of toil and hardship. But when his village was raided by marauding Cimmerians, Conan's destiny took a savage turn. Captured and sold into slavery, Conan spent years fighting in gladiatorial arenas, honing his skills as a warrior. Eventually, he escaped and embarked on a journey that would make him a legend throughout the Hyborian Age.

Conan's adventures were first chronicled in the pages of Marvel Comics' Conan The Barbarian in 1970. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, the series quickly became a hit with fans of fantasy and adventure. Thomas's writing captured the essence of Robert E. Howard's original Conan stories, while Windsor-Smith's art brought the barbarian's world to life in stunning detail.

Over the course of its 114-issue run, Conan The Barbarian featured a wide range of stories and characters. Conan battled wizards, monsters, and evil sorcerers. He traveled to distant lands and met strange and exotic people. And he always fought for what he believed in, even when it meant putting himself in danger.

Conan The Barbarian was a groundbreaking series that helped to define the fantasy genre in comics. It was one of the first comics to feature a barbarian as a protagonist, and it helped to popularize the sword-and-sorcery genre. The series also introduced several memorable characters, including Red Sonja, Belit, and Valeria. These characters have gone on to star in their own comics and other media adaptations.

Marvel Comics' Conan The Barbarian, issues #1-114, written by Roy Thomas, is a must-have for any collector or fan of the iconic barbarian. The series is a timeless classic that has entertained readers for generations. Whether you're a longtime fan of Conan or you're just discovering the character for the first time, you'll find plenty to enjoy in these classic issues.
