2008 Dark Horse Comics
Cover A - Frank Cho
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by Timothy Truman, penciled by Thomas Giorello and Richard Corben, colored by Jose Villarubia, covers by Joe Kubert and Frank Cho.
As hard as it's been for Conan to return to Cimmeria, things aren't getting any easier as he nears his goal, and he quickly runs afoul of raiders on the Cimmerian borderlands. One stranger welcomes Conan home with a crack to the head, and another begins to weave a tale about Conan's grandfather -- another Cimmerian who was filled with wanderlust. Conan the Cimmerian continues Dark Horse Comics' modern revitalization of Robert E. Howard's most beloved character. This is a great jumping-on point for new readers -- and a first look at the creative muscle that will fuel Conan's adventures throughout 2008!
REVIEW by Brian Fisher
I stopped reading the first series of Conan after Kurt Busiek left the series to be replaced by Tim Truman. I can now honestly say after reading the first issue of the new series that I was wrong to stop. Truman still holds faithful to the voice of Robert Howard, and the artwork, by the double-team of Tomas Giorello and Richard Corben is perfect for the story of the Cimmerian wanderer. Looks like I'll have to start reading this book regularly again.
I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
