As longtime fans and current readers know, Savage Sword of Conan is one of the all-time greatest hits of the sword & sorcery comic book. And when you think of Savage Sword, along with the titular character Conan, you cannot help but recall how he was visually presented by one of the medium's great artistic practitioners, Mr. John Buscema. Sculptor Tony Cipriano used Buscema's visual design of Conan as inspiration and reference, making for one of the finest mini-busts in quite some time. 11.5" wide x 7.25" high, numbered, limited-edition, with a certificate of authenticity. Scheduled to arrive in February.
We're gonna make you an offer you can't refuse... Since its release in 1972, The Godfather has taken its place as arguably the greatest American film of all time (apologies to Citizen Kane). And probably the most memorable character in that classic is the portrayal of Vito Corleone by Marlon Brando. Through a special licensing arrangement with Paramount, Dark Horse Deluxe is bringing forward a fantastically realistic sculptural treatment of the Godfather. Own a highly collectible piece of the film! 6" tall, numbered, limited edition, with a certificate of authenticity signed by Steve Kiwus. Scheduled to arrive in February.
This volume contains some of the most ambitious adaptations of Conan material to date, reprinting the epic battle that leads to Conan becoming the king of Aquilonia in "Conan the Liberator," the sword-and-sorcery classic "Sword of Skelos," and the exhilarating "Conan and the Sorcerer." Collecting selections from The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian issues 49 through 60, this volume also includes the frontispieces and pinups from each issue, drawn by such amazing talent as Ernie Chan, Carl Potts, and Neal Adams! As a special bonus, you'll find a companion piece to Savage Sword Volume 1's "A Witch Shall Be Born" story-that hasn't seen print since its original publication in 1980! [Roy Thomas (W/A) and Various (A)]
Tim Truman's "Cimmeria" story arc comes to an explosive finale and tribal politics come to a head, as the fate of Conan's new lover is decided! Conan learns the truth about why his grandfather stayed in Cimmeria-where the old warrior became a vital member of his adopted village, yet never let go of his daydreams and wanderlust.

Everything ties together here, as the first Conan the Cimmerian arc crescendos into a flurry of swords and emotion! [Timothy Truman (W), Tomás Giorello (P), Richard Corben (P), José Villarrubia (C), and Frank Cho (Cov]
The Castle of the Devil hides several secrets-the most horrible of which may still be locked at the base of the castle in the ruins of an ancient abbey. Solomon Kane gets closer to unveiling the truth behind the crazed monks who used to live there, as he deals with the castle's current batch of strange inhabitants. Escaping with John Silent, his wounded companion, is out of the question, because Kane also seeks justice for the souls of innocent children who were killed on the gallows that litter this evil, tainted region of Germany's Black Forest. [Scott Allie (W), Mario Guevara (P), Dave Stewart (C), and John Cassaday (Cover)]

Howard's "The Shadow Kingdom" comes to a bloody crescendo, as Kull and Brule uncover further layers of deception and treachery in the ancient halls of Valusia's Tower of Splendor. Over the centuries, the human race has become confident of its complete dominance over the natural and supernatural realms. Using humanity's own arrogance and indolence against itself, a shadowy race of snake creatures has returned to nearly full strength-and is poised to take over Valusia as a first step in toppling man's soft civilization!

The only thing standing in Nahtok's way is the small border kingdom of Khoraja and their battered military forces, now led by the inexperienced Princess Yasmela. Amalric's mercenaries-with Conan still riding among their numbers-are charged with reinforcing Yasmela's depleted army, as the conquering Nahtok draws near and Yasmela is haunted by both evil threats and holy visions.
