Description

Published in October 1970, Conan the Barbarian #1 is one of the most significant Bronze Age keys, featuring the origin and first appearance of Conan in comic books, adapted from the legendary character created by Robert E. Howard. The issue also contains the first cameo appearance of King Kull, another iconic Howard creation.

Written by Roy Thomas with artwork by Barry Windsor-Smith and Dan Adkins, this landmark issue launched one of Marvel's most successful and influential Bronze Age series. Windsor-Smith's distinctive artwork evolved throughout the run into one of the defining artistic achievements of the era, while Roy Thomas' faithful adaptation introduced an entirely new generation of readers to Howard's Hyborian Age.

Professionally graded CGC 7.0 Off-White to White Pages, this copy represents a desirable mid-to-high-grade example of one of Marvel's premier Bronze Age investment books. Conan the Barbarian #1 has enjoyed sustained collector demand for decades, driven by its importance as the first comic-book appearance of Conan, its enduring popularity among fantasy fans, and its status as the foundation of Marvel's Conan franchise.

An outstanding collector's copy of one of the defining first issues of the Bronze Age, combining a major first appearance, classic Barry Windsor-Smith artwork, and long-term investment appeal in a book that remains a cornerstone of Marvel and fantasy comic collecting.
