That character has been a comic book staple almost as long, and he's had some terrific creators handling his adventures, including Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, Gil Kane, John Buscema, Neal Adams, Kurt Busiek, Frank Brunner and many, many more.
Ranked among that list of the best should be the creative team on King Conan: writer Tim Truman and artist Tomas Giorello.
They've created a true version of Howard's rough-hewn hero, and this issue focuses on a key moment in Conan's career - his first encounter with Zenobia, the second true love of his life.
They share a fight for their life, a daring escape, and one of the hottest kisses ever depicted in a comic book.
Giorello's art is tremendous - a classic style loaded with detail, great character designs, sexy women, heroic ideals and amazing environments.
It's an outstanding comic - truly the best version of Conan in a long, long time.
Highly recommended!
Grade: A+
