King Conan: The Phoenix on the Sword

Set in the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard's creation, King Conan: The Phoenix on the Sword sees Dark Horse Comics adapt one of the original Conan stories into a four-issue series. Writer Tim Truman and artist Tomás Giorello bring Howard's prose to life, focusing on an aging Conan as he faces a supernatural threat to his throne. This 2012 series matters as a faithful, visually powerful take on a foundational Conan tale from the creator himself.
