Conan

From 1977 to 1985, the Danish publisher Interpresse brought Conan to life in a six-issue series that stands as a key entry in the character’s international publishing history. Anchored by the foundational work of American writer Roy Thomas and Danish writer Ole Rasmussen, with the iconic, muscular artwork of John Buscema, these comics delivered a distinctly European take on Robert E. Howard’s barbarian. Though brief, the series matters as a testament to Conan’s global reach and the cross-cultural appeal of sword-and-sorcery storytelling during the late Bronze Age of comics.
