No need to be coy, Roy...

It’s official! There have been rumors swirling around last week, but it was finally announced this weekend at the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo, that legendary comic book writer (and Conan writer extraordinaire) Roy Thomas, in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics, are planning a brand new twelve issue Conan comic series known as Conan: Road of Kings!

Read all about it, including the inside scoop from Roy himself, at Comic Book Resources (here) and on IGN comics (here)!

Flashback: Roy in the MarvelCon '76 Convention Program!

Roy’s going to be teaming up with long time cartoonist and illustrator Mike Hawthorne!  If you don't know much about Mike, check his blog (do a search for Conan, he's got four or five drawings on display), website, Ning, Facebook, and myspace pages for much more information!  A small sample of what we might expect from Mike below…

This is all incredible news!  I can't wait to get my hands on issue #1!
