Conan the Adventurer – Marvel Comics – 1994–1995 – Volume 1 – Ongoing Series – #1–14

Quick Summary: Launched during the final years of Marvel's original tenure with the Conan license, this series was intended as a "back-to-basics" approach to the character. Written primarily by Roy Thomas, the series returned Conan to his youthful days as a thief and mercenary, aiming for a tone that balanced the grit of the original stories with 90s visual sensibilities. The title is characterized by the dynamic, detailed artwork of Rafael Kayanan, who brought a leaner, more agile look to the Cimmerian compared to the massive "Buscema" style of previous decades. Despite the high-quality creative team, the series was caught in the industry-wide downturn of the mid-90s and concluded after 14 issues.
