Eisner Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek teams up with some of the best artists and writers in this collection of stand-alone stories from Conan. In 'Helm,' Busiek and Fabian Nicieza write and EC Comics legend John Severin draws the story of a certain very famous horned helm. Renowned comics and animation artist Bruce Timm lends his styling to the darkly comic 'Conan's Favorite Joke.' Current Conan writer Timothy Truman takes pencil in hand as the Cimmerian's influence crosses generations in 'Seeds of Empire' and 'The Blood-Stained Crown.' Goon creator Eric Powell draws the poignant story of a young and unsung hero in 'Storyteller,' Dark Horse's centennial tribute to Conan creator Robert E. Howard. And artist Rafael Kayanan returns to the world of Hyboria with 'In the Tower of Tara-Teth,' a gritty adventure set during the Cimmerian's years as a mercenary and pirate. Collecting issues #18, 26-28, 39 of the Dark Horse Conan series.
