Taking place before the events of the original Conan #23 comic, writers Luke Lieberman and Peter David -- along with artist Will Conrad -- present this powerful four issue series that no Sonja or Conan fan can be without! Also includes the back-up story by the creative team originally published in Red Sonja #2, as well as a complete cover gallery featuring the work of Will Conrad and Gabriele Dell'Otto!

From the mind of writer Robert E. Howard and the pages of Red Sonja comes the debut of Thulsa Doom! Thulsa Doom follows in the wake of the destruction of Atlantis, when the world was in chaos and Thulsa sought his own path to ultimate power! Written by Kull scribe Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Lui (Red Sonja) Antonio. The book contains the Robert E. Howard short story that introduces Thulsa Doom (Delcardes Cat)

An encounter with a devil leaves Red Sonja, the legendary swordswoman, bereft of her signature chainmail and fleeing murder charges, but a change of clothes and venue aren't enough to escape the guilt in her heart. Penniless and under pursuit, she has no choice but to accept a dangerous mercenary job: to search for the tomb of an ancient warrior queen. But the spirit of Queen Gheta lives on... a fierce and unnatural combatant who may be the only creature in history capable of defeating Sonja. Meanwhile, the demonic entity Bhamothes wreaks havoc in her homeland of Hyrkania... and only the forgiveness of a murdered boy can end its killing spree!

The barbarian She-Devil with a Sword faces a whole different world and challenges in this new adventure written by Amy Chu and drawn by Carlos Gomez. Somewhere deep underground, strange and powerful demons clad in metal armor attack and roust Red Sonja from a deep magical sleep. Confused and weaponless, she must find a way to defeat these mysterious creatures, escape from her solitary prison, and make her way to the surface to discover where she is, and why she was put there...

In this unique collection, ongoing Red Sonja series writer Gail Simone hand-picked eleven of the fiercest, most talented, and most popular female writers from the worlds of comics, prose, games, and television, to help her tell the greatest legends in the She-Devil's long history! A group of savage mercenaries hired to hunt and kill Sonja come across campfire tales of her at every turn... and Sonja does not like to be hunted. Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, Marjorie M. Liu, Nancy A. Collins, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Rhianna Pratchett, and many more tell fascinating bits of Sonja's legend, with a wrap-around tale by Simone herself, and art by the likes of Phil Noto, Jim Calafiore, Jack Jadson, and others. Collects Legends of Red Sonja issues #1-5, the script to issue #1, concept art by Jack Jadson, and more!

Conan wasn't the only Robert E. Howard sword and sorcery icon to be adapted to Marvel Comics! Following Conan's breakout success, Roy Thomas set his sights on Howard's legendary barbarian king of Valusia: Kull! Marie and John Severin contributed what many consider the creative highlight of their careers, in tales that showed how uneasy hung the crown on the head of Kull -- especially when confronting wicked sorcerer Thulsa Doom! The art of Mike Ploog also features heavily, along with contributions from some of the era's top talents...including Kull's first appearance, drawn by comics legend Bernie Wrightson!

In the late '80s, artist Val Semeiks took the reins on Conan the Barbarian injecting a powerful new energy into the series. Semeiks' work was a force multiplier for the latter half of Christopher Priest's era-defining run. Together, they crafted one of the greatest Conan epics of all time, a massive story line building issue #200 and a showdown with the Devourer of Souls. As the Devourer reveals his final gambit, drawing upon the power of the Elder Gods, Conan must seek aid from one whose name even he dreads: Thulsa Doom! Also featuring the return of Red Sonja, the acclaimed "Heku Trilogy" and early work by Andy Kubert, this is one Omnibus you don't want to miss! By Crom!
