Conan the Cimmerian #0 Cover
If you are a Robert E. Howard purist you must run to your local comic shop and see if they still have this issue. Writer Timothy Truman based the story around the poem “Cimmeria” which Howard wrote in February 1932. Artist Tomás Giorello and colorist José Villarrubia create a fantastic visual tale of Conan returning to Cimmeria and encountering a group of Vanaheim raiders. Priced at only $0.99 it is an inexpensive introduction to the world of Conan comics.
