Dark Horse To Adapt Robert E. Howard's Only CONAN Novel

Dark Horse has announced that writer Timothy Truman, artist Tomás Giorello, and colorist José Villarrubia - the team behind KING CONAN: THE SCARLET CITADEL and KING CONAN: THE PHOENIX ON THE SWORD will adapt Robert E. Howard’s only Conan novel KING CONAN: THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON. The book will be broken down into two six-issue miniseries. Here is a synopsis of the book:

King Conan has faced many threats to his throne in Aquilonia—but none more deadly than a traitorous alliance backed by the resurrected sorcerer Xaltotun, at whose command mountains crumble!

 KING CONAN: THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON #1 hits comic shops May 29 and KING CONAN: THE CONQUEROR will start February 2014 (just in time for THE LEGEND OF CONAN film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!).
