King Conan: The Scarlet Citadel

Dark Horse’s 2012 one-shot King Conan: The Scarlet Citadel adapts Robert E. Howard’s classic Conan tale, with the Cimmerian trapped in a haunted, otherworldly fortress. Writer Timothy Truman and artist Tomás Giorello bring their signature gritty, detailed style to the story, capturing the raw power and savage cunning of an older, reigning Conan. This issue stands as a focused, standalone chapter in their acclaimed run on the character, directly continuing the tone of the King Conan series.
