About the series
Marvel's King Conan (1980–1983) took Robert E. Howard's barbarian into a less-traveled phase of his life, focusing on the Cimmerian's later years as a monarch. With a rotating roster of top-tier talent including Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and a young Marc Silvestri, the series explored Conan's struggles with the burdens of rule, aging, and the political machinations of his throne. Though only 19 issues long, it offered a distinctive, more introspective take on the character, bridging the gap between his youthful adventures and his legendary legacy.
