Hellboy creator Mike Mignola takes over writing duties on Conan for a three-part story
adapting one of Robert E. Howard’s legendary “lost” story fragments, “The Hall of the
Dead”! Pursued by a small army, Conan heads for shelter in the ancient ruins of a
forgotten city, lured by a flimsy rumor of treasure. Instead, he finds the fallen idols of
twisted gods and a lot of croaking creatures. Luckily, frogs are no match for a
Cimmerian… right? From artist Cary Nord and comics visionary Mike Mignola comes
one of the weirdest tales ever cooked up by Howard, taking Conan on an adventure far
darker, and slimier, than he’s ever faced before.

a darkness beyond reckoning, and an unexpected finale to a story that has permanent
