About the series
Marvel’s Conan the King (1984–1989) follows Conan in his later years as the aging monarch of Aquilonia, shifting from wandering barbarian to battle-hardened ruler. Written primarily by Don Kraar, Alan Zelenetz, and James Owsley, with art by Mike Docherty, Marc Silvestri, and Geof Isherwood, this 36-issue series explores the political intrigues, sorcerous threats, and personal sacrifices of kingship. It stands as a distinctive chapter in Conan’s Marvel saga, offering a mature, contemplative take on the Cimmerian’s legacy while still delivering sword-and-sorcery action.
