Definitive Conan Comics Collecting Guide and Reading Order

The Conan comic books definitive issue-by-issue collecting guide and trade reading order for omnibus, hardcover, and trade paperback collections. Find every issue and appearance! A part of Crushing Krisis’s Crushing Comics. Last updated June 2020 with titles scheduled for release through February 2021.

Conan has lived many lives in comics, from a young barbarian to a grizzled old king. Those lives are split into two distinct periods of Conan comics with distinctly different story continuity.

His first life in comics was at Marvel from 1970 through 2000, largely under the pen of veteran Roy Thomas in his long-running series Conan the Barbarian.

Then, in 2003, Conan comics made the jump to Dark Horse – initially under the pen of Kurt Busiek. Dark Horse launched his book with reverence, assuring fans that they would present adaptations of Robert E. Howard’s original work and its implied connective tissue – nothing more.

In a major twist, Marvel won the license back starting in January of 2019! That means Marvel is able to release new Conan titles, reprints of their original Conan comics, and reprints of Dark Horse’s 15 years of Conan!

The contents of Marvel’s original run from 1970 to 2000 are listed as an alphabetical index by title, since they published many series outside of the spine of Barbarian and King Conan. However, the content of the page is chronological by series.

Dark Horse’s contents are listed and presented chronologically in the order the series have been released.

Conan The Barbarian (1970) #1-275 & Annual 1-12

Conan the Barbarian has been reprinted in many fashions over the past nearly fifty years, but it has been primarily collected in just three lines – only one of which is complete.

4. The Chronicles of Conan reprints the entire series in 34 paperback volumes as detailed below! Note that the early volumes of this series have been digitally recolored with modern techniques. Many fans find this objectionable, and thus prefer the volumes above for the classic. BWS material.

Vol. 1 – Tower Of The Elephant And Other Stories: #1-8 (ISBN 978-1593070168)

Note: Volume 3 of the collections of the 2003 Dark Horse series also bears the title “Tower of the Elephant.” I have physically checked a copy of Chronicles Vol. 1 to confirm the ISBN so you don’t wind up with the wrong book!

Conan the Adventurer (1994 – 1995)

A rebooted of Conan the Barbarian, still with Roy Thomas at the helm. I believe this to be an actual continuity reboot, as an early caption in #1 describes Conan as “young Conan of the Snowhawk Tribe” and Roy Thomas’s editorial letter says the series “is designed to stand totally on its own.”

#1-14: Not collected (although, with Chronicles of Conan reaching the end of Conan the Barbarian in 2017, this could conceivably be next).

Continues from Conan the Adventurer as written by famed G.I. Joe and Wolverine scribe Larry Hama.
