Fantastic Stories Presents: Conan The Barbarian Super Pack brings together a substantial illustrated collection of Robert E. Howard's original Conan stories, the sword-and-sorcery adventures that helped define heroic fantasy. Across lost cities, savage kingdoms, ancient ruins, pirate coasts, haunted temples, and blood-soaked battlefields, Conan fights sorcerers, tyrants, monsters, thieves, warriors, and kings while carving his own legend in a brutal prehistoric world.

Howard's Conan is not a polished knight or conventional hero. He is barbarian, thief, mercenary, pirate, commander, and conqueror: a figure of raw vitality set against decaying civilizations, occult dangers, and treacherous courts. These stories combine fast action, dark atmosphere, strange magic, and hard-edged adventure, creating a body of fiction that shaped modern fantasy, sword and sorcery, pulp adventure, and the larger tradition of action-driven speculative fiction.

This illustrated Super Pack offers readers a powerful single-volume introduction to one of fantasy's most enduring characters and to Robert E. Howard's fierce, highly influential storytelling. For fans of classic fantasy, pulp fiction, heroic adventure, weird fiction, and early twentieth-century magazine stories, Conan remains essential reading: violent, vivid, mythic, and unforgettable.

Robert E Howard

Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) was born and raised in rural Texas, the son of a pioneer physician. He began writing professionally at the age of fifteen and turned out dozens of tales of heroic and supernatural fantasy, featuring many memorable creations - including the character he is best remembered for: Conan of Cimmeria. These stories, mostly published in Weird Tales, won him a huge audience across the world and influenced a whole generation of writers, from Robert Jordan to Raymond E. Feist. Sadly, Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.
