Robert E. Howard's Savage Sword

From 2010 to 2015, Dark Horse revived the raw, untamed spirit of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age with Savage Sword, a ten-issue series that collected classic Conan tales by Roy Thomas, Tony DeZuniga, and John Buscema, alongside new material illustrated by Benjamin Carré. Blending reprints of the iconic black-and-white stories from the 1970s with fresh adaptations of Howard’s original prose, this anthology served as a vital bridge between generations of sword-and-sorcery fans. It matters as a faithful, gritty showcase of Conan’s earliest comic adventures, preserving the visceral art and narrative power that defined the character’s pulp legacy.
