King Conan: The Hour of the Dragon

In 2013, Dark Horse Comics brought Robert E. Howard's original novel "The Hour of the Dragon" to vivid life, adapting the sole full-length Conan story into a six-issue miniseries. Illustrated by the powerful, detailed pencils of Tomás Giorello, this arc faithfully captures Howard's prose as the aging Cimmerian king reclaims his throne from the sorcerous forces of the undead Xaltotun. It stands as a definitive, artist-driven take on one of Conan's most epic adventures, showcasing the barbarian at his most regal and desperate.
