plus Sloth and Cassandra - attack at last! But what is the secret behind

The legend of Conan continues! Tired of the thieving life, Conan signs
on as a mercenary for the warring kingdom of Turan. The enemy will tell

tale - but palace intrigue may prove more dangerous to the barbarian.
After all, it's never wise to bed a wizard's woman. Then, Conan joins
with Red Sonja for a multipart adventure. Last, but far from least, we
present Roy Thomas and Gil Kane's never-before-reprinted GIANT-SIZE
adaptation of "The Hour of the Dragon," the iconic story of how Conan
became king and conqueror and met the woman who would become his wife.
And it's all restored to the original coloring!

From the heart of the Silver Age Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers
bring you the World War II adventures of Sgt. Nick Fury! These creative
titans took the Marvel method and applied it to the combat genre,
creating the "war comic for people who hate war comics." Starring Fury,
Dum Dum Dugan and the rest of the Howling Commados, the series was an
instant hit and would even inspire filmmaker Quentin Taratino's
Inglorious Basterds. In this augural Sgt. Fury Epic Collection, our
heroes battle more Nazis than you can shake a bayonet at, team-up with
Captain America and Bucky, battle the nefarious Barons Strucker and
Zemo, and set out to capture Adolf Hitler himself!

One of the all-time great stories of the Silver Surfer, by the legendary
Stan "The Man" Lee and visionary French artist Jean Giraud, aka Moebius
- as stunning now as it was 30 years ago! A star falls to earth. Panic
grips the planet as mankind prepares for its inevitable end. But the
star is a ship, and inside is a god. All he asks is adoration. Overcome
with relief, man rushes to obey. There is only one voice of dissent that
will not be silenced: the Silver Surfer, who recognizes the "god" as
his former master! But why has Galactus encouraged mankind to live down
to his darkest nature? The Sentinel of the Spaceways stars in a
bewitching tale of man's folly and nobility.

Railroad!" Seven Mickey serials in all -- all newly recolored in the
