Conan The King

Conan the King—also known as King Conan of Aquilonia—represents the ultimate evolution of Robert E. Howard’s legendary sword-and-sorcery icon. No longer merely a wandering mercenary, thief, or pit fighter, Conan claims the throne of Aquilonia, the most powerful kingdom of the Hyborian Age, by his own hand after slaying the tyrannical King Numedides. Crowned in blood and steel, Conan discovers that ruling a empire is far more treacherous than winning it.

As king, Conan trades the open road for political intrigue, courtly conspiracies, rival usurpers, and ancient sorcery threatening his borders. Despite wearing the crown, he remains a barbarian at heart—fiercely independent, pragmatically honorable, and always ready to trade royal robes for broadsword and armor when his kingdom is threatened. His reign as monarch is chronicled in classic literary works like The Hour of the Dragon as well as iconic comic runs from Marvel Comics, Dark Horse, and Titan Comics.
