HUNDRED WORD HIT #169 - CONAN THE BARBARIAN #25
Conan The Barbarian #25 - Various Writers & Artists
Its a celebratory anthology issue as Marvel’s Conan title hits its 300th anniversary due to legacy numbering, and they don’t disappoint.
This special is divided into four short strips each focusing on a period of Conan’s life. First up is ‘Until Our Stories End’ featuring Conan & Belit, second is ‘A Civilized Man’ which takes place after events chronicled in The Frost Giant’s Daughter. Then there’s silent strip called ‘Night of Oblivion’ and the finale is the fantastic ‘Black Orchid’ with Roberto de la Torre channelling his inner Buscema to deliver some stunning art.
