Dark Horse Comics has announced a new Conan series.
Writer Tim Truman and artist Tomás Giorello will return to the character for King Conan: The Phoenix on the Sword.
"First hailing Conan as a liberator after he annihilated Aquilonia's foes on the battlefield, common folk and politicians alike now rally to unseat the Cimmerian from his stolen throne," said the publisher.
"Conspirators plot to kill King Conan and take the crown for themselves, but their schemes pale in comparison to a terror waiting quietly in the wings - an enemy who has haunted Conan his whole adult life and whose wicked aspirations dwarf those of manoeuvring politicians. It's the return of Thoth-Amon!"
Truman and Giorello collaborated on the ongoing Conan the Cimmerian title, which concluded last year. They then moved on to produce miniseries including King Conan: The Scarlet Citadel.
The new series is based on a 1932 story by Conan creator Robert E Howard.
King Conan: The Phoenix on the Sword will debut on January 25, 2012.
