CONAN THE BARBARIAN #27

Conan the Barbarian #27 kicks off a tense new chapter in the ongoing series' Conquering Crown arc. Rumors swirl that the King of Aquilonia is mad, and a tyrant sits on the throne as the realm teeters on collapse. Conan the Mercenary cares little for royal gossip—until his prowess in battle drags him directly into a king's dangerous orbit. The Cimmerian’s blade and wits are put to the test as politics, power, and peril collide, setting him on a threshold that will reshape his legend. Written by Jim Zub with Fernando Dagnino providing the art, this issue features multiple variant covers by Nick Marinkovich, Doug Braithwaite, Juan Jose Ryp, and Federico Sabbatini, all delivering kinetic action and moody atmosphere. A mature sword-and-sorcery tale that blends brutal combat with political intrigue, it stands as a pivotal moment in Conan’s saga and in the broader mythos.
