Conan and the People of the Black Circle

In 2013–2014, Dark Horse Comics brought Fred Van Lente and artist Ariel Olivetti together for a four-issue adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s classic Conan novella. This series faithfully translates the epic tale of the Cimmerian’s clash with the sinister cult of the Black Circle, capturing the savage adventure and exotic danger of Howard’s Hyborian Age. It stands as a visually striking, modern retelling of a foundational Conan story by a key creative team.
