Conan the Legend 25� one shot an
exciting prologue to the new ongoing series!
Stoke the primeval fires of your mind with Dark Horse's Conan the Legend, a bargain-priced one-shot leading in to the new ongoing Conan series. The special 25 cent issue features a 16-page prelude story introducing readers to the sprawling, lusty, battle-filled legend of Conan, establishing characters and situations important to the series, and sets the stage for the adventures to come. This issue also includes a sketchbook gallery of artist Cary Nord's stunning work and a mini-interview with writer Kurt Busiek! In this preview issue, an arrogant young Prince and his advisor survey his newly conquered lands. As they search for treasure to plunder, a hidden chamber is found and in it lies a statue of a mysterious figure. The Prince is unusually intrigued with this stone tribute and upon closer inspection sees an inscription that reads, "In Our Darkest Hour, He Will Return". The Prince learns that this is a statue of King Conan and orders his advisor to find out more about the mysterious King and his deeds. His advisor relents and begins the telling of Conan's many triumphant battles, told in stunning montage style showcasing Cary Nord's amazing art! "Conan's a dream assignment for me!" commented writer Kurt Busiek. "It's got everything - a great lead character, exciting adventures, a vast historical sweep, a fascinating world that involves everything from war to thievery to piracy, from high seas adventure to desert banditry, from sorcery to romance to all-out action and back again ... what's not to like? "Cary Nord's doing a beautiful job," Busiek continued. "There have been great artists before who've made their mark on Conan, and I'm confident Cary's going to be joining their ranks, before he's done." Conan the Legend is the perfect introduction to Conan and the new Conan series. Bargain-priced at 25�, this special offer is the same price as the very first appearance of Conan, in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales, back in 1932. This issue provides an ideal way for anyone to get a taste of the action and thrills to come before the ongoing series begins in 2004. Conan the Legend #0 arrives in comic stores November 12. S U P E
