Conan and the Songs of the Dead

In 2007, Dark Horse Comics released a single-issue prestige one-shot, Conan and the Songs of the Dead, written by acclaimed novelist Joe R. Lansdale with art by Tim Truman. This standalone story brings a distinct, folk-horror sensibility to the Hyborian Age, as the Cimmerian confronts a sinister, musical sorcery. Lansdale’s gritty, lyrical voice and Truman’s detailed, atmospheric pencils make this a memorable, offbeat entry in the Conan canon.
