Check out this preview for Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan's upcoming Conan series called Conan the Barbarian, which hits stores on February 8, 2012!

In this sweeping adaptation of Robert E. Howard's fan-favorite "Queen of the Black Coast," Conan turns his back on the civilized world and takes to the high seas alongside the pirate queen Bêlit, setting the stage for an epic of romance, terror, and swashbuckling. This is Conan as you've never seen him, with the combination of one of Robert E. Howard's greatest tales and the most dynamic creative team in comics!

* A perfect jumping-on point for new readers!

*A bold, fresh take on the Cimmerian.

* "Queen of the Black Coast" is the most-requested Conan adaptation!

If you can find a copy, you should pick up East Coast Rising by Becky Cloonan.

Looks cool. I'll have to track that down.

Have you seen her work in Northlanders? It's similar to this art, but I think the Conan pages look stronger.
