Features the often printed foreword of "Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis..." and shows a map of the Hyborian Age.
These pages reprint a collage of previous Conan comics illustrations along with lettering and Robert E. Howard text, therefore making a complete list of credits too cumbersome for the credits fields above. An incomplete list of creators includes Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, Gil Kane, Mike Kaluta, Ernie Chan, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Alfredo Alcala, Dave Steele, Bambos Georgio, Warren Martineck, Glynis Wein, Marie Severin, Val Mayerik, Steve Gan, Michele Wolfman, George Roussos, Earl Norem and Sam Rosen.
Credits for the issue. Background contains simple illustrations of Hyborian Age weapons and a skull.
