Conan the Slayer

In 2016, Dark Horse launched Conan the Slayer, a twelve-issue series that plunged readers into the Hyborian Age with a focus on the Cimmerian's raw, untamed nature. Written primarily by Cullen Bunn alongside Ruth and Jim Keegan, with art by the Keegans and Sergio Dávila, this run stripped Conan down to his most primal—a wanderer driven by instinct and survival. The series stands as a lean, brutal chapter in Dark Horse's celebrated tenure with the character, emphasizing the savage heart of Robert E. Howard's creation.
