Conan the Barbarian is a funny character, in that the sword-swinging, Crom worshipping Cimmerian is as simple as you can get when considering his desires, but it’s from this simplicity that truly great tales may emerge and King-Size Conan delivers on that promise in celebrating fifty years of the warrior’s comic book tenure. The tales in this issue break down Conan’s character into a number of categories, ranging from “The Barbarian” to “The Thief” to “The Avenger” and provides readers a fantastic look into the mind of this long-running character.
