Conan the Avenger

In the wake of Dark Horse's Conan the Barbarian, this 2014–2016 series shifts focus to a more cunning, wandering Conan, adapting Robert E. Howard's original stories with a gritty, adventurous tone. Fred Van Lente anchors the writing, working from Howard's foundational texts, while artists Brian Ching, Guiu Vilanova, and Eduardo Francisco bring the Hyborian Age to life with dynamic, visceral art. It's a key chapter in Dark Horse's acclaimed run, offering a fresh take on the Cimmerian that honors the source material while exploring his evolution as a survivor and strategist.
