Heroic Signatures and Titan Comics have announced that Conan the Barbarian is coming to Free Comic Book Day, May 4, 2024. Written by Jim Zub with art by Jonas Scharf, this issue will launch a Battle of the Black Stone event, which will roll out through late Summer and into the Fall, building on plotlines introduced in the critically acclaimed Conan the Barbarian ongoing series.

Conan of Cimmeria is haunted by shadows, a nightmare of events glimpsed beneath dark waters of the past. The unspeakable evil foretold by Thulsa Doom looms over the Hyborian Age and every age connected to it…and it will take more than a Barbarian-King to stop its relentless march upon time, space, and sanity.

Heroic Signatures’ and Titan Comics’ Conan the Barbarian has been a critical and commercial hit, becoming the highest-selling issue in Titan Comics history. With the series in its second year, Conan the Barbarian: FCBD Edition will give readers a taste of what’s to come, including art by brand new Conan artist, Jonas Scharf. 

Free Comic Book Day takes place every year on the first Saturday of May. With over two thousand stores and several comic book publishers participating, the event gives readers a chance to grab a free comic and meet fellow comic readers. Readers can find their local participating store HERE.
