Conan

In the early 1980s, French publisher Arédit-Artima collected a 14-issue run of Conan stories, primarily written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by a powerhouse trio of artists—John Buscema, Rudy Nebres, and P. Craig Russell. This series brought together the savage Cimmerian with unexpected guest stars like Bruce Banner and the Hulk, alongside Red Sonja, creating a unique blend of sword-and-sorcery and Marvel-style crossover. A key artifact of European comics publishing, it showcases the international reach and enduring appeal of Robert E. Howard's barbarian hero during a formative era.
