Conan the Barbarian #1 (Marvel: 1970) | The Coming of Conan! | 5
Prepare yourselves for the beginning of an epic journey!
In this milestone episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #1, the iconic Marvel Comics issue from 1970 that launched the Cimmerian into comic book stardom. With Roy Thomas's gripping script and Barry Windsor-Smith's early art style (a fascinating mix of promise and raw potential), this first issue brings Conan to life as a young warrior caught in the midst of a battle between the Aesir and Vanir—and an encounter with otherworldly forces that will shape his destiny.
Witness the birth of Conan’s comic legacy as he battles winged demons, resists a scheming shaman, and glimpses a mysterious vision of his future—crown and all. Steeven dissects the issue’s breathtaking storytelling, Kirby-esque art, and world-building grandeur, connecting it to the rich mythology of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age.
This is more than a review—it’s a celebration of where it all began for Marvel's Conan. Join us for sword-swinging action, fiery commentary, and an unforgettable first step into the untamed world of the Hyborian Age!
Conan the Barbarian #1: "The Coming of Conan!" was written by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, Dan Adkins, and Sam Rosen.
This issue was published by Marvel Comics in July of 1970.
Enjoy!
