Conan Chronicles Epic Collection

The Marvel Epic Collection is Marvel's line of large, full-colour trade paperbacks reprinting entire runs a few hundred pages at a time. Announced in 2013 as a colour successor to the black-and-white Essential Marvel, each numbered volume covers a single character, team or title, collecting its issues in original publication order together with annuals and tie-ins. Volumes are released out of sequence to fill the gaps between those already in print, the intention being that a completed line sits on the shelf as one unbroken run.
