Volume 9 - 1st printing. "Free Companions!" Collects Conan the Cimmerian (2008 Dark Horse) #14 and 16-21. Written by Timothy Truman. Art by Tomás Giorello and Joe Kubert. Cover by José Villarrubia. In his short career as a mercenary, young Conan has impressed both Princess Yasmela and military leader Lord Amalric, but an ambitious, rogue prince arrives in Khoraja and blindsides Conan out of the comfortable, courtly situation he's found himself in. Not only is Conan's love affair with Yasmela going south, but rebel Prince Julion immediately challenges Conan's headstrong impulses and military plans, causing a rift between the battered-but-proud forces of Khoraja and Amalric's army of colorful mercs. Softcover, 184 pages, full color.
