Dark Horse Is Going Barbarian with King Conan: The Hour of the Dragon This May

By The Woman In Black
February 2nd, 2013

Conan fans have a lot to look forward to. In addition to The Legend of Conan coming in 2014, Dark Horse Comics has lined up writer Timothy Truman, artist Tomás Giorello, and colorist José Villarrubia to adapt Robert E. Howard’s only Conan novel in two, six-issue miniseries.

The first series, titled The Hour of the Dragon, will run through October 2013 and continue in a second arc titled King Conan: The Conqueror starting in February 2014.

Issue #1 of The Hour of the Dragon goes on sale in comic stores everywhere May 29th.

Synopsis:
King Conan has faced many threats to his throne in Aquilonia—but none more deadly than a traitorous alliance backed by the resurrected sorcerer Xaltotun, at whose command mountains crumble!
