Giant-Size Conan the Barbarian Sept 1974 #1 Hour of the Dragon!

Description: This comic is part of a comic book collection, acquired in the 1960s and 1970s. The comics were for the most part, purchased from a comic book store. The Conan series was the initial reason for purchasing the comics. However, the comic storeowner asked if there was the interest in other comics and if she could put them aside for purchase. Thus, the collection grew. The comics have not been owned by anyone else and many have never been read. We are now selling these domestically through Ebay and hope that they will enhance someone's collection. If you purchase more than one comic from us, we would be happy to consolidate your shipment to reduce costs for Shipping and Handling. The maximum number comics that can be shipped safely is 4 in the flat rate priority envelope. For 5-20 comics, the shipping cost in a Medium Flat Rate Priority box is $14.50 USPS.Please purchase your desired comics. I will combine the shipping cost and I will refund you the difference for the shipping cost. Condition:Spine: very few minor stress marks. Back: tiny LH corner chipping. Pages: tthe. General: bindery perforations & printing imperfections, discoloration, color bleed, dents, bends, dirt, reader’s kink edges/corners minor.

The mthe reveals to Conan the flying-horse-riding Choosers of the Slain and in general acts mysterious and godlike. Conan soon comes across Dunlag, a Brythunithe, and learns war is brewing between Hyperborea and Brythunia. Dunlag takes Conan to his camp and they meet Dunlag's lover, Eevin. Methewhile, in the woods, Brythunithe commander Malachi secretly meets with the consort of King Tomar of the Hyperborethes. Malachi agrees to betray Brithe, king of Brythunia. Back in the Brythunithe camp, Eevin sees visions of the Grey God Conan met earlier, but Dunlag is determined to fight. Conan joins the Brythunithes, mostly to get revenge for being enslaved by the Hyperboarethes, and meets Malachi. The two do not get along. The armies clash the next morning and Conan gets revenge on several Hyperboarethes, especially one particular one who whipped him. However, oddly, Malachi refuses to bring his cavalry to bear. Conan suspects treachery. Dunlag is killed, which enrages Conan and he chases and kills Malachi, Brithe and Tomar meet and both slay the other as the Grey God watches. The Choosers of the Slain fly from the sky and take the honored dead as Conan realizes he had just encountered the god Borri.NotesThe Hour of the Dragon is the chapter one of "Conan the Conqueror", and is adapted from the novel by Robert E.
