Conan Graphic Novels in German from Splitter Comics

"I was born on a battlefield! The clank of swords and the cries of the massacred were my lullaby."

Conan is back. Wilder. Stronger. More beautiful. Mightier than ever. For decades the barbarian from Cimmerien has been running his bloody craft in comics from the houses Marvel and Dark Horse. But these adaptations of the novels by Robert E. Howard are carved from a different wood: The best scenarists and draftsmen in France have come together to pay tribute to the god of Sword & Sorcery. Legendary stories, edited by greats such as Morvan (»Hercules«) and Alary (»Silas Corey«) and Gabella / Jean (»The Unicorn«). This reveals fresh perspectives on Conan and his dangerous world and the classic works shine in new splendor.

Each volume features a complete story based on an original work by Conan creator Robert E. Howard, and includes extensive bonus material on the creation of the myth Conan and the comic adaptations.
