Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian

From 1983, Marvel’s Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian presented a single, standalone issue that distilled the savage Hyborian Age adventures of its iconic Cimmerian. Scripted by longtime Conan scribe Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Smith—both key figures in the character’s early Marvel years—this one-shot offered a faithful, self-contained adaptation of Howard’s source material. While brief, it stands as a focused tribute to the original pulp spirit, bringing together two of the creators most synonymous with Conan’s comic-book legacy.
