A crown sits heavy on a barbarian’s brow, and the enemies it attracts are worse than the ones he left behind. 

February brings a reckoning for King Conan and a feast of Hyborian Age treasures that spans fifty years of savage glory.

Steel yourselves.

Conan the Barbarian #29 – February 25, 2026

The crown of Aquilonia is barely warm on Conan’s head and already there’s a blade at his throat. 

Meet the Son of the Tooth: a spirit-hunter who wears the teeth of his prey like trophies and can track Conan’s very soul across the Hyborian Age. No fortress walls, no royal guard, no kingdom’s might can hide a man from something that hunts his essence.

Jim Zub and Doug Braithwaite kick off the eighth story arc of Titan’s ongoing series with a vicious premise: the Cult of the Black Stone isn’t done with Conan. Not by a long shot. 

After 28 issues of wandering, fighting, and clawing his way from thief to king, the Cimmerian finally sits a throne and the supernatural forces that backed the mad King Numedides want their pound of flesh.

Savage Sword of Conan Reforged #3 – February 18, 2026

Cannibals. A cursed dancer. The temple of the ape-god Hanuman. Roy 

Thomas and Neal Adams’ legendary adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s “Shadows in Zamboula” has never looked like this before … because it’s never been in color before.

Reforged #3 cracks open Savage Sword of Conan #14 from 1976 and breathes new life into every blood-soaked panel. Forty-eight pages of the definitive Zamboula story, now blazing with contemporary color while preserving that oversized, premium format that made the original magazine a thing of savage beauty.

If you’ve never read the original, this is Howard at his most depraved and inventive. If you have, well, you’ve never seen it like this.

Savage Sword Omnibus Vol. 11 – February 24, 2026

Here’s a number for you: forty years. 

That’s how long the Skull of Set graphic novel – Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy’s masterwork – has been out of print and unreprinted. Until now.

This 856-page beast collects Savage Sword #146-158 alongside that long-lost graphic novel, covering the era when Chuck Dixon was forging his name on Conan’s blade and Larry Hama was steering the editorial ship. “Blood Circus,” “Slaves of the Circle,” and “Bane of the Dark Brotherhood”  are the pinnacle of the late-80s stories that kept the barbarian’s legend burning while the rest of comics chased spandex.

What you’re getting for this is a piece of history that collectors have been hunting longer than Conan’s been hunting sorcerers.

Frazetta’s Conan, Forged in Plastic

Every barbarian who’s flexed on a book cover since owes a debt to the paintings of Frank Frazetta. 

Now, ICON Collectibles has translated that specific Frazetta vision into a 5.5-inch retro action figure that looks like it crawled out of a 1983 toy aisle and a Frazetta canvas at the same time.

Eight points of articulation, signature weapons, removable armor, and a cardback that slides out for display. 

The first wave ships in May and includes the Death Dealer and John Carter alongside Conan. 

If you grew up with barbarian toys on your shelf, this is the one that was always missing.

Conan the Babarian: The Archive Issues – Out Now

Roy Thomas’s 1970s run on Conan the Barbarian is where Howard’s prose became four-color legend, where Barry Windsor-Smith and John Buscema turned the Hyborian Age into something you could see and feel on every page.

Now the first 117 issues of that run are available digitally on Kindle and Comixology. That’s the full Thomas era from the barbarian’s first Marvel appearance through over a decade of stories that defined sword-and-sorcery comics for a generation. No hunting through longboxes, no paying collector prices, no excuses.

Whether you’re reading Reforged and want to see the originals, diving into the Omnibus and want context, or you’ve just never experienced the run that started it all, the vault is open.

From a king’s first battle to a forty-year-old treasure finally unearthed, February has enough Hyborian steel to arm a small rebellion. Draw your blade and choose your adventure.
