Conan the Barbarian (2011 collection)

Conan the Barbarian (2011 collection) refers to a series of comic book collections published by Dark Horse Comics that re-released and reprinted various Conan the Barbarian stories originally published in the Conan the Barbarian comic series by Marvel Comics. These collections are often presented in chronological order and feature stories primarily written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by artists such as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, and others who contributed to the original Marvel series. The Dark Horse reprints typically restore artwork that may have been cut or altered in previous editions and often include bonus materials such as cover galleries, historical articles, and creator interviews, providing a comprehensive archive of this era of Conan comics. The collections were aimed at preserving and making accessible the early adventures of Robert E. Howard's iconic character in comic book form for both new readers and longtime fans. These differ from later Conan comic book series also published by Dark Horse.
