Gehört zur ReiheConan - Dark Horse (Omnibus of 0-6)
Finally, a collection gigantic enough for Conan the Cimmerian himself! This truly massive tome collects issues #0 through #50 of Dark Horse's original Conan series - from the definitive early work of Kurt Busiek, Cary Nord, and Dave Stewart through the famous collaborations of Timothy Truman, Tomas Giorello, and Jose Villarrubia. Follow the adventures of Robert E. Howard's barbarian warrior across haunted tundras and through perilous dungeons as he clashes with monsters, wizards, and still darker enemies.

Both Marvel and DC have been printed omnibus collections of their works for several years now. Dark Horse does one better with their book. Sewn binding, thicker (higher quality) paper, larger pages to show of the art better, and numbered pages something we only see on occasion from other companies. The book mark ribbon was unnecessary for me but a fancy touch nonetheless.
The Content: The book contains 50 issues worth of story. At an issue a month you have years worth of published materials to read over in one book. Not a lot of extras, a foreword by Kurt Busiek, an afterword by Truman and some covers and some sketches. Much of the art is by Cary Nord and most of the coloring is done by Dave Stewart. While we do see some stories by other authors much the same tone is maintained thru out the book making it flow very well. While the time in Conan's life varies in some of the stories the way the reader is introduced to the stories works very well as a reluctant adviser to a king's son reads them to the prince. Clearly the adviser dislikes Conan and the prince loves him. We see stories from Conan's early life and much of his wondering with very little with him as King.
One thing I enjoy about old fantasy from the early 20th century is the allure of the ancient and unknown past where fantastic discoveries and mysteries were lost. This writing of Conan is very respectful to the original Conan works and we see hints of the mighty past here and there with at least one storyline (the Hyborrians) capturing the lost city type story very well.
This book does contain some scantily clad girls including a couple bare breasted illustrations.
A video review an acquaintance created helped me decide to try this one out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PE1rrzJOhQ
