He’s battled frost giants, enormous spiders and legions of sword-swinging men, but nothing could prepare Conan for Thoth-amon.
The second collection of Dark Horse’s new adventures of the barbarian hero, adapted from the original tales of creator Robert E. Howard by the talented team of writer Kurt Busiek and Canadian artist Cary Nord, re-introduces Conan’s magic-wielding evil arch-nemesis — complete with giant snake.
Caught up in a centuries-old battle between Thoth-amon and the good wizard Kalanthes, Conan is first required to defend himself for a murder he didn’t commit, and then forced into a bodyguard job that may push him over the brink.
Busiek and Nord deliver another outstanding effort worthy of the legacy of Conan.
