About the series
Marvel’s Giant-Size Conan (1974–1975) was a five-issue quarterly series that expanded the Hyborian Age adventures of Robert E. Howard’s iconic barbarian, with Roy Thomas steering the scripting alongside fantasy novelist Michael Moorcock and James Cawthorn. Barry Smith’s lush, detailed artwork defined the book’s visual identity, delivering oversized, standalone epics that complemented the main Conan the Barbarian title. Though brief, the series is notable for its ambitious cross-pollination of comic and prose fantasy talent, offering a dense, atmospheric showcase for Smith’s evolving style.
