Conans UK comic career started in 1975 with the weekly released Savage Sword of Conan. This title only lasted 18 issues however and was at the time considered a failure.
In 1977 the title was rebooted with a larger, magazine format on a monthly basis and would eventually become Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian to tie in with the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This run proved more popular, lasting 93 issues till it's end in 1985.
Conan would continue to appear in other titles such as Mighty World of Marvel, Avengers, Valour and Planet of the Apes among others. Almost 20 years after the first release of a UK Conan comic, the character returned in 1994 with Conan the Adventurer. Released to tie in with the then current cartoon series of the same name. This title only lasted a mere 3 issues though before being cancelled without warning.
