Veleúspěšná komiksová řada věrně odrážející původní předlohu spisovatele Roberta E. Howarda. Legendární barbar se opět vrací v knize od nakladatelství Dark Horse a tentokrát se střetne se svým nejúhlavnějším nepřítelem – obávaným čarodějem Tot-Amonem. Původní povídky o Conanovi z pera Roberta E. Howarda bývají považovány za základní kámen fantasy žánru „meč a magie“. Scénáře komiksu se ujal Kurt Busiek, držitel Eisnerovy ceny, a kresba je dílem Caryho Norda, nominanta Eisnerovy ceny. Tito dva tvůrci nyní znovu oživují legendárního, krví zbroceného hrdinu, jenž si vysloužil přízeň veřejnosti i odborníků po celém světě. Kniha, jejímž základem je Howardova povídka „Bůh v míse“, vypráví o Conanově útěku z děsivého severu, po němž uvízne v záludné síti civilizace. Na svém putování se střetne s opilci, dvorskými intrikány a také s vražedkyní Janisou, ženou, jež skrývá nejedno tajemství. Především však bude muset čelit Tot-Amonovi, jenž se vší svou nadpřirozenou mocí snaží zničit Conana a každého, kdo se vzpírá jeho plánu nechat svět pohltit věčnou temnotou.
