Conan the Barbarian is a comics book title starring the sword-and-sorcery character created by Robert E. Howard, published by the American company Marvel Comics. It debuted with a first issue cover-dated October 1970 and ran for 275 issues until 1993. A commercial success, the title launched a sword-and-sorcery vogue in American 1970s comics.[1]
Marvel Comics reacquired the publishing rights in 2018 and started a new run of Conan the Barbarian in January 2019,[2] at first with the creative team of writer Jason Aaron and artist Mahmud A. Asrar.[3] This run ended in November 2021 after 25 issues, when Titan Comics acquired the license to publish Conan comic books in 2022.
