In this heart-wrenching episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven dives into Conan #6: Day of Farewell from Dark Horse Comics—a story of rebellion, sacrifice, and the devastating cost of failure.

As Conan leads a daring revolt against the immortal Hyperboreans, he inspires his enslaved comrades with raw strength and unrelenting resolve. But victory turns to ashes when dark sorcery and betrayal unravel his carefully laid plans. Faced with the brutal consequences of his choices, Conan must grapple with unimaginable loss: the death of his closest allies, the haunting fate of Iasmini, and the horrifying realization that freedom comes at a steep price.

This issue is a masterclass in storytelling, with breathtaking art by Cary Nord and Thomas Yates bringing every moment of tragedy and fury to life. Steeven unpacks it all: the emotional stakes, the stunning visuals, and what this devastating chapter means for the young barbarian as he ventures into an uncertain future.

Don’t miss this gripping exploration of one of Conan’s darkest and most defining moments. By Crom, this is an episode that will leave you both shaken and eager for more!

Conan #6: Day of Farewell by Kurt Busiek, Cary Nord, Thomas Yates, Richard Starkings, and Dave Stewart was published by Dark Horse on July 28, 2004.
