Titan Comics relaunched the adventures of Robert E. Howard’s Cimmerian warriorConan the Barbarianlast year with an excellent new series written by Jim Zub (who we interviewed at the time,check it out here). The first arc has wrapped up now, but the saga continues in the pages of the monthly comic.
Conan has enjoyed and endured recent adventures on the high seas with the fearsome pirate queen Belit, but he will soon be compelled to return to his homeland - if he survives the violent events of January 31’s issue #7 that is!
We’ve got an inkling that he will of course, because we’ve got an exclusive preview of covers and pages from the issueafterthat, February’s #8, right here. In the gallery below you’ll find Ashleigh Izienicki’s main cover, Patch Zircher’s Cover B, and Cover C from Greg Broadmore.
Titan’s official synopsis for the new issue reads:
“WARRIOR. THIEF. PIRATE…
After adventures on the high seas, CONAN returns to shore to find himself haunted by his memories of BELIT, captain of the Tigress and Queen of the Black Coast. Can a high-stakes heist draw him out of his tortured past, or will it plunge him deeper into the chaos that has always been waiting for him?”
Here’s a selection of inked pages by Doug Braithwaite, which see Conan engage in his two favorite activities: fighting and fondling.
