Dark Horse Comics

Dark Horse Comics began their take on Conan in 2003 with the comic series Conan, initially written by Kurt Busiek and pencilled by Cary Nord. This series is a fresh interpretation, based on the works of Robert E. Howard, with some new stories, but with no connection to the 1970s Marvel Comics run.

However, Dark Horse is also publishing digitally re-coloured collections of the 1970s Marvel Comics Conan the Barbarian series by Roy Thomas (writer), Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Ernie Chan (artists) and others.

It was announced that Dark Horse Comics will end the comics run in February 2018 as Conan will return to Marvel in 2019.
