One of the Greatest Fantasy Heroes of All Time
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.
This is just a sampling/introduction to Conan. Some prince and his advisor, Wazir discover a cave with treasure in it. Also in the cave sits a statue on a mighty throne. The statue is of some unknown king, called Conan. The prince seeks the history of this unknown king. The advisor finds it.
