Description
Fans of Robert E. Howard's legendary hero will devour this next instalment of Conan the Barbarian comics, filled with high adventure, savage combat, ancient gods, and rollicking sword-and-sorcery action! Volume five of this epic series is masterfully crafted by the critically-acclaimed team of Jim Zub and Doug Braithwaite, with the new addition of this series' first female artist, Danica Brine!
Featuring two epic tales of sword and sorcery starring Robert E. Howard's iconic barbarian hero.
Conan the Cimmerian and Belit, Pirate Queen of the Black Coast, are in their prime, enjoying a life of decadence and debauchery, but a flagrant flash of wealth brings unwelcome attention from thieves with a taste for danger and agents from Stygia on a dark mission for their serpent god!
In the days following Belit's tragic demise, Conan traveled through jungles of the southern kingdoms but there's no time for grief - a deadly hunter stalks the Cimmerian, bent on bloody vengeance. Who is this strange foe and what do they know about the ancient power rising in Stygia?
The triumphant new era of Conan continues in this tale of brutal heroic adventure from acclaimed creators Jim Zub (Avengers, Dungeons & Dragons), Danica Brine, and Doug Braithwaite (Punisher, Justice)!

Reviews / Votes
Rue Morgue Magazine awarded CONAN THE BARBARIAN as Best Ongoing Comic Series of 2024"Jim Zub, for the most part, is doing brand new Conan the Barbarian stories and they feel like they're written by the hand of Robert E. Howard himself. It feels like you're in Cimmeria, in the Hyborian age written by Robert E. Howard himself and I don't think there's a bigger compliment that I could give." - Thinking Critical (Wes)
"This comic is the gold standard in how to have the very best writer, artists, colorists, letterer, and editor. What do you get with these guys? The best comic in the industry." Thinking Critical (Drew)
