King Conan Colossal #[nn]

Panini France's 2023 oversized collection brings together an impressive creative lineup — Timothy Truman, Tomás Giorello, and Paul Lee — to adapt Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age sagas in grand fashion. Giorello's cover painting commands immediate attention: an older, silver-haired Conan clad in ornate golden armor stands triumphant above a laurel-wreathed emblem, sword in one hand and a ring held aloft in the other, his red cloak snapping dramatically against a stormy sky. At 90 EUR this colossal volume announces its ambitions right on the cover — this is Conan as king, weathered but unbroken, every inch the ruler of Aquilonia.
