    Prologue to the new ongoing series!

    Stoke the primeval fires of your mind with this bargain-priced introductory one-shot! Conan The Legend features a 16-page prelude story introducing readers to the sprawling, lusty, battle-filled legend of Conan, establishing characters and situations important to the series, and setting the stage for the adventures to come. Plus a sketchbook gallery of artist Cary Nord's stunning work and a mini-interview with writer Kurt Busiek.

    Note: Conan the Legend is designed to serve as the perfect introduction to Conan and the new Conan series, and as such is bargain-priced at 25cents -- the same price as the very first appearance of Conan, in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales, back in 1932. An ideal way for anyone to get a taste of the action and thrills to come, before the ongoing series begins in 2004.

    Every legend has a beginning... 0

    I've never read much of Conan before, and all of my previous experience with the character was with the (admittedly, pretty fun) 1970s flick (starring none other than the Govenator himself!). So, I approached a little wary.Thankfully, from page one, this comic caught me and wouldn't let go. First off, the art is incredible. The team did a amazing job, and they have a very unique style that I haven't seen in any other comics-the only thing I can think of to compare it to would be Gunslinger Born ...

    Lackluster Fantasy History 0

    All series benefit from an introduction, but do they need to be lifeless? A prince discovers some treasure and a bunch of scrolls which tell of Conan. The prince wants to hear more, but he's the only one who's interested in what the scrolls have to say. I empathize with the adviser who shrugs reading the thin exaggerated (or not) history. Artwork could've used more effort as well....

    One of the Greatest Fantasy Heroes of All Time 0

    And so it begins! Dark Horse's run at Robert E. Howard's Conan. They state they will be faithful to the Robert E. Howard vision of Conan and not all the pastiche's that followed. This should be good. Nobody comes close to Howard's Conan. I have read a tons of Conan books but not the comics. A couple of the Marvels long ago, they was alright... but, Dark Horse looks like they are going to adapt the actual Howard stories in an attempted chronological order! That should be something to see.T...
