Conan is an incredibly fun character and this new series looks like the return-to-glory the comic franchise needed. With a new film making its way onto screens next year, this focuses on Conan’s encounters with pirates and a buxom wench; it’s great stuff, and Roy Thomas shows off his writing skills which, while dated, are still great fun to read. The art by Mike Hawthorne is suitably bloody and entertaining and make for a rounded experience.
