Marvel broke the super-hero mold, when it unleashed Conan the Barbarian in 1970. No capes, cowls or masks, for this marauding Cimmerian, who seldom donned more than a loin-cloth and sandals. He also swung a mighty sword in his many battles and conquests, while going long and hard to establish the "Sword & Sorcery" genre in the mainstream. Unleash your bidding beast, to claim this 1970 Marvel Conan the Barbarian #1 issue, which marks his first appearance in comic book form. CGC has graded this early Bronze Age key a lusty (6.0, White Pages).
