Robert E. Howard’s Conan is brought to life UNCENSORED! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended!

Robert E. Howard’s Conan first appeared in the pages of pulp magazines in the 1930s. He contributed 17 Conan stories to Weird Tales Magazine from 1932 to 1936. Through these stories we see Robert E. Howard’s savage hero take shape.

The Picte country is an obscure jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. Only one thing symbolizes it: the Black River, where it is claimed that no white man is able to cross and come back alive. None, except Conan.

Story (Spoilers!)
In issue #1D, It is in the heart of this green hell that the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young voluntary peasant whom he saves at the last minute from the clutches of fierce Pictish warriors. Together, they will try to lend a hand to the colonists who have established themselves here, on these hostile lands, in the last bastion of civilization. With a dozen men, they will have to find the powerful sorcerer Zogar Sag before he succeeds in uniting the clans and initiating his bloody invasion…

Finally, in issue #2D, Conan and his brave new friend Balthus are forced to split up in an attempt to save as many settlers as possible when the fort constructed to protect them is turned to ash. A mad dash against time takes place as Conan realizes he must confront the sorcerer Zogar Sag if there is any chance of anyone being left alive!
