Conan #11

A muscle-bound Conan stands front and center on Doug Wheatley's painted-style cover, sword drawn and a dark-haired woman pressed close at his side, while a gleaming hoard of gold and skulls looms ominously in the background. This 2012 Dark Horse trade collecting "Chapter One" brings together Roy Thomas's writing with Mike Hawthorne's interior art, inked by John Lucas and colored by Dave Stewart — a strong creative lineup for any fan of sword-and-sorcery storytelling. If you're looking for Conan adventure with a sense of danger and treasure around every corner, Road of Kings makes a compelling addition to your shelf.
