A KING BY HIS OWN HAND – TWO TALES OF GLORY READY TO BE UNLEASHED! Volume seven of the epic series continues with two masterfully crafted epics from critically acclaimed writer Jim Zub, alongside the inimitable Alex Horley and the unstoppable Fernando Dagnino. Featuring the fully painted, special extended issue THE NOMAD, and the sweeping tale of Conan’s bloody ascension to kingship in THE CONQUERING CROWN! THE NOMAD: Conan the King welcomes a strange visitor with an even stranger mission. Can the Ruler of Aquilonia prove his mettle or will the mysterious wanderer’s incredible power change the course of history? THE CONQUERING CROWN: The King of Aquilonia has gone mad, or so the rumors say. A tyrant sits upon the throne and all will suffer until he is deposed or dead. Conan the Mercenary cares nothing for these royal rumors and petty politics, but the Cimmerian's skill in battle is about to put him in the path of a mad monarch, and his life will be forever changed.
