Titan Comics announced it has tapped Jim Zub and Jonas Scharf are teaming for Conan the Barbarian: Battle of the Black Stone, which finds Conan teaming with other Robert E. Howard characters.
CONAN THE BARBARIAN: BATTLE OF THE BLACK STONE continues from the Free Comic Book Day special issue, where the strange Black Stone sigil revealed itself across space and time to multiple iconic Robert E. Howard characters, including Conan himself, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes.
“The mysteries and powers of the Black Stone are one of the pillars I put into my original proposal for the series and, now that we have momentum, we can really go all out in telling this epic tale of pulp-inspired adventure across the ages,” said writer Jim Zub in a press release from Titan Comics. Black Stone is a mysterious material that showed up in multiple Robert E. Howard prose stories and we’re using it to link not just Conan’s Hyborian age to Kull’s Thurian age, but other points in time and characters from those eras as well.”
Conan The Barbarian: Battle of the Black Stone #1 arrives on September 4, 2024.
