Conan: Road of Kings by Roy Thomas (writer), Mike Hawthorne, John Lucas, Dave Stewart, Dan Jackson, and others. This is volume 11 of the Dark Horse Books Conan graphic novel series. It collects volumes one through six of Dark Horse Comics monthly Conan: Road of Kings series. This series features the writing of the legendary Roy Thomas who helped bring Conan to comics. It also features the masterful art work of Mike Hawthorne, John Lucas, Dave Stewart, Jason Gorder, Dan Jackson and others. The art work is maybe a bit edgier then that of most of the previous volumes in this Dark Horse graphic novel series. However, it is fantastic and stunningly illustrates the barbaric characters and savage environments of the story. Although to me the story seemed to portray a slightly more thoughtful and caring Conan than he was portrayed in previous volumes of this series, it was extremely well written, compelling, and very enjoyable. Conan is returning the beautiful Olivia to her wealthy father and expecting a generous reward for the deed. However, the barbarian is still thieving and killing two legged, tentacled and otherwise endowed monsters and villains throughout this very enjoyable journey on the Road of Kings. ( )
