Conan the Barbarian #1

Conan the Barbarian #1 (2019) kicks off with Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar plunging readers into the early days of the Cimmerian’s rise, as he escapes the brutal fighting pits of Maul only to be captured by the enigmatic Crimson Witch. Tasked with summoning the demon Razazel, Conan’s fate becomes entangled in a dark ritual that spans years—until, decades later, the Witch reemerges to claim him once more in the time of King Conan. Esad Ribić’s striking cover captures the tale’s mythic dread, while Asrar’s dynamic art and Matthew Wilson’s vivid colors bring the Hyborian Age to life.
