Roy Thomas & Tom Grindberg are working on a new Conan project for Dark Horse Comics!

Tom Grindberg posted on his Facebook page that he is working with Roy Thomas on a new Conan project for Dark Horse Comics. He also posted that it will be an adaptation of a Conan story by Robert E. Howard.

The project is still in the proposal stage, so the exact story and the format (limited series, graphic novel, etc.) are being kept under wraps for now. Grindberg said "My aim is to bring back this character to its original glory from the pulps!"

If you are not familiar with Grindberg's work, checkout the interview with him on the ALL PULP blog from 2012.

A sample Tarzan strip by Thomas & Grindberg is shown below.
The full strip is available from the ERB Online Comics service.

Dark Horse plans to reprint the Thomas/Grindberg Tarzan strip at some point in the future.

Thanks to Deuce Richardson for the tip!

Speculative!
New Robert E. Howard audio CDs!
Coming in October!

Witch Shall Be Born Audio CD – Audiobook, MP3 Audio

The kingdom of Khauran is small, but has an abundance of rich soil, hard-working inhabitants, and much gold. Most importantly, it has a sweet, young queen who is as wise and kind as she is beautiful. When her evil twin sister, a witch, captures and secretly replaces her, devil worship, human sacrifice, and other strange and evil things are introduced to the Kingdom.

Under the witch’s rule, Conan the Barbarian, who was the captain of the queen's guard, is captured and sentenced to crucifixion in the desert. But rather than be disposed of so easily, Conan is focused on an ambitious plan to escape his captors and restore the Kingdom. Excitement and intrigue―as well as battle, blood, and demons―await him.

Pigeons from Hell Audio CD – Audiobook, MP3 Audio

Robert E. Howard, best known as the creator of Conan the Barbarian, also wrote stories in a diverse range of genres. He was particularly masterful with horror stories. This 1938 spell-binding story is one of his best. In 1983, Stephen King, wrote that he considered Pigeons from Hell to be "one of the finest horror stories of our century." With a decaying Southern family, a gruesome murder, a strange sort of "undead" creature, and, of course, evil pigeons, it makes for a story that will send a chill down your backbone.

Shadows in the Moonlight Audio CD – Audiobook, MP3 Audio

Shadows in the Moonlight is a thrilling tale full of barbarian craftiness, magic, fierce fighting, and Conan’s incredible strength. For fans of Conan the Barbarian, this tale is a treat!

Trapped by the merciless Shah Amurath, and with most of his men slaughtered, Conan the Cimmerian lives at the edge of hope. He barely escapes with his life, but when a lucky break allows him the chance for revenge, he seizes it, and captures his enemy’s slave girl, Olivia, who was once a princess. Desperate to flee Shah Amurath, Conan and Olivia reach a deserted island that holds many enchantments and dangers. When pirates arrive, things get bloody very quickly…
