Hildico

Stepping out of the Bronze Age with a debut in Roy Thomas and John Buscema's legendary Conan the Barbarian #30 (1973), Hildico is one of those evocative figures from the rich, sprawling world that Marvel's Conan line conjured so brilliantly in that era. She shares her pages with some formidable company — Conan himself, Prince Thann, and the menacing Munthassem Khan among them — which speaks to the dramatic, sword-and-sorcery stakes of her corner of the Hyborian Age. With appearances collected across Conan the Barbarian and Dark Horse's handsome Original Comics Omnibus, she's a character whose footprint spans decades of publishing history, a small but genuine thread in one of comics' great adventure tapestries.
