\"\"[ENGLISH] Dark Horse Comics tells us:<\/strong> MILWAUKIE, OR, April 22, 2010\u2014At last weekend\u2019s C2E2 convention, Dark Horse Comics announced that it would continue telling the epic tale of Robert E. Howard\u2019s Conan the Cimmerian with the return of legendary writer Roy Thomas. Thomas introduced the comic-reading public to Conan in 1970, when he began the highly successful Conan the Barbarian for Marvel Comics, a title he wrote for ten years. Conan and comics fans will also remember the former Marvel editor in chief\u2019s classic tales from lauded runs as a writer and editor on The Savage Sword of Conan and as the writer of King Conan. Now, in 2010, Thomas returns to the character he helped ingrain into the consciousness of the comics community with Conan: Road of Kings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cConan the Cimmerian is one of the most important people in my life\u2014even if he never really existed\u2014and it was a genuine thrill to be asked by Dark Horse publisher Mike Richardson to scribe a year\u2019s worth of his darkly epic adventures,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n

Continuing where Conan the Cimmerian #25 leaves off, Thomas\u2019s Conan: Road of Kings will tell a twelve-issue epic about the next stage in the adventurous hero\u2019s illustrious life, beginning with a new #1 issue. Featuring art by Mike Hawthorne (Fear Agent), Road of Kings begins this December.<\/p>\n

\u201cConan: Road of Kings picks up the barbarian on the Vilayet Sea, at nearly the easternmost edge of Robert E. Howard\u2019s map of the Hyborian age, and has twelve breathless issues to deliver him\u2014black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand\u2014to the westernmost shores of that age undreamed of,\u201d Thomas continued. \u201cTo reach his destination, he must travel the fabled Road of Kings that winds its way through the civilized kingdoms\u2014but along his path lurk inhuman monstrosities, malevolent sorcerers and not a few power-crazed men and women who are determined to see to it that he doesn\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDynamic artist Mike Hawthorne and I intend to make Conan\u2019s westward odyssey a chapter in the Cimmerian\u2019s life that readers won\u2019t soon forget,\u201d Thomas explained. \u201cThis will be a quite different take on Conan\u2019s life than the one I pioneered at Marvel in the seventies and the nineties, with new adventures, new antagonists, even new and alternative sides to characters you thought you\u2019d met before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current Conan creative team of writer Tim Truman and artist Tom\u00e1s Giorello are set to continue their adventures with the Cimmerian, as well. Jumping ahead in Conan\u2019s timeline, King Conan: The Scarlet Citadel features the adventurer years in the future\u2014after he\u2019s become the king of Aquilonia\u2014and adapts one of Robert E. Howard\u2019s original Conan tales. This four-issue miniseries will hit comic shops in early 2011.<\/p>\n

Dark Horse Comics is also slated to continue its run of successful Conan reprints with King Conan Volume 1 on sale August 25, The Savage Sword of Conan Volume 8 on sale September 22, and Conan: The Newspaper Strips Volume 1 on sale September 8, all featuring the writing talents of Thomas alongside other greats, like Doug Moench, John Buscema, Gil Kane, Ernie Chan, and more!<\/p>\n
