Conan: Road of Kings

Roy Thomas, a legendary Conan scribe, returned to the character at Dark Horse for this 12-issue series, adapting Robert E. Howard's original prose with artists like Mike Hawthorne and Dan Panosian. Spanning 2010 to 2012, Road of Kings follows the Cimmerian's brutal journey through the Hyborian Age, weaving classic Howardian adventure with a sense of epic scope. It stands as a faithful, muscular take on the source material, blending Thomas's deep familiarity with the barbarian with visceral, modern artwork.
