General Bakra of Akif

A creature of the Bronze Age Hyborian world, General Bakra of Akif stepped onto the page in 1973, conjured by the legendary team of Roy Thomas and John Buscema in Conan the Barbarian #30. This military figure from the city of Akif inhabits a corner of Robert E. Howard's sword-and-sorcery universe populated by vivid characters like Conan himself, Prince Thann, and the formidable Munthassem Khan. With only a handful of appearances across a publishing history that stretched remarkably into the 2000s — and a place in the celebrated Original Comics Omnibus — General Bakra of Akif is precisely the kind of richly named, world-building figure that reminds collectors just how densely imagined and rewarding the Conan mythos truly is.
