When Conan the Barbarian #1 came out, a few readers noted that a red-headed character shown in a flashback seemed out of place in Cimmeria.
In issue #13, you'll see that character is a Vanir living amongst the Cimmerians, unusual but not impossible.
Also in issue #1, a flashback of Conan hunting a bear on his own to test his mettle.
In issue #13 readers will see that full bear hunt and understand its greater significance to our character.
CONAN THE BARBARIAN #13

Leaving Cimmeria filled with wanderlust, young Conan heads north in search of glory. What he finds there will change him forever, setting him on the path that makes him a legend.

Unrelated, I re-read your Alpha Flight story from True North. Don't know if I told you before, but it really put a good cap on one of the weirder bits of Byrne's original run, and sanded off one of the group's more misanthropic corners.
At #SDCC2024 there will be 5 different Conan the Barbarian variants available.

We cover graphic novels vs prose, working with artists, writing a short story, the eb and flow of nerd culture, working on Conan the Barbarian, structuring serialized stories, and more! Give it a listen!
An independent comic creator reached out with questions about an original story anthology contract they received (but haven't signed yet).
Lawyer Folk-
if a creator signs away all Moral Rights to their story, does retaining copyright on that story mean anything?
TODAY-
