Die ersten Abenteuer des jungen Conan! In diesem Sammelband sind die legendären Geschichten des Fantasy-Helden von Robert E. Howard mit restaurierter Kolorierung versammelt, einschließlich Conan the Barbarian 14-240 und reichlich Bonusmaterial. Howard prägte mit seinen kraftvollen Prosa-Abenteuern, die in den amerikanischen Pulp-Magazinen der 1930er Jahre erschienen, die Sword-and-Sorcery-Fantasy. In den 1970ern wurde Conan ein Marvel-Comic-Held und erfreute sich großer Beliebtheit, dank der Geschichten von Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith und John Buscema. Auch in den späten 1980ern und frühen 1990ern begeisterte die Comic-Serie mit episodischen Abenteuern der ikonischen Figur. Kreative wie Val Semeiks, Michael Higgins und Gerry Conway führten Conan durch neue Geschichten, die in bester Pulp- und Marvel-Tradition erzählt werden. Auf seinen Reisen durch die Hyborische Welt stellt sich Conan zahlreichen Gegnern, darunter Werwölfe, Schlangenwesen und Piraten. Der Cimmerier trotzt nicht nur Bösewichten und Bestien, sondern auch den Elementen der Natur. Eingeleitet wird der Band durch Vorworte von Val Semeiks und Michael Higgins, während im Anhang Bleistift-Versionen der Original-Cover von Künstlern wie Jim Lee zu finden sind.

A key strategic victory that paved the way for the Allied invasion of Japan, Iwo Jima was described by Lieutenant-General Holland Smith, Commander Fleet Marine Forces Pacific, as "the most savage and costly battle in the history of the Marine Corps." For 36 days in February and March 1945, Marines pounded an island fortified by miles of interlocking caves, concrete blockhouses and pillboxes - one of the most impenetrable defenses of the Pacific War. Unwilling to surrender, the Japanese fought until the bitter end: nearly all of their 20,000 troops were killed in the fighting, compared with 7,000 US dead. At Iwo Jima, the Marines secured an island base that would prove crucial in the final battles of the Pacific campaign. This book illustrates the Marines' decisive victory at Iwo Jima in graphic novel format and includes eight pages of background information detailing the key players, the experience of the forces, and the aftermath of the battle.
When the villainous Cobra Commander and his minions cause havoc around the world the Joes are there to thwart them.
