Dark Horse Comics president Mike Richardson this week announced a new publishing program featuring CONAN THE BARBARIAN.

The monthly ongoing series will include all-new stories based on the classic Robert E. Howard character and also incorporate adaptations of the original CONAN tales.

"I am very honored and excited to bring this classic character back to the comics world," Richardson said. "We will be working closely with Fredrik Malmberg of Conan Properties to ensure the highest quality stories and art to do this legendary character justice."

"CONAN has been a major comics franchise for many years," Malmberg said. "Dark Horse was our number one choice when we looked for a new licensee and we are extremely pleased with the creative approach they are planning."

The Dark Horse CONAN series is scheduled to launch mid-2003.
