Conan: The Lord of the Spiders

Roy Thomas and Stefano Raffaele brought a classic Conan adventure to life in this 1998 Marvel miniseries, a three-issue tale that pits the Cimmerian against a monstrous arachnid threat. Rooted in the sword-and-sorcery tradition, the story taps into the dark fantasy realm of Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age, with Raffaele's vivid art capturing the gritty, muscular action. Though brief, it stands as a late-era Marvel Conan entry that showcases Thomas's enduring stewardship of the character.
