I know it is an arbitary renumbering, but does this page need to be restructed a little to reflect the two different series. There's a lot of general and backgorund stuff that might be specific only to the first series... Duggy 1138 22:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Merge the two Dark Horse articles, no reason for these to be seperate. Conan (comics) should also be moved to Conan (Marvel Comics) and create a disambiguation page at Conan (comics) -- 69.182.199.231 ( talk) 19:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
The three pages really aren't identical, and when combine they're a horrible, horrible mess, which is why the were split off in the first place. But, hey, if you guys can solve those problems go ahead. Duggy 1138 ( talk) 13:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Conan The Cimmerian (Dark Horse comic), Conan (Dark Horse comic) and Conan (Dark Horse comics) have all been merged into Conan (Dark Horse Comics). I have slotted in the relevant information from Conan The Cimmerian (Dark Horse comic) and Conan (Dark Horse comic) to their appropriate sections, whilst Conan (Dark Horse comics) appeared to mirror this.

New here, haven't made an account but I will, I'm just at work at the moment. I was just wondering, this does all fine and well to discuss what comics there are, but what about the storyline? Is there going to be any expansion on the actual story or plot of each comic series? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.79.222.119 ( talk) 13:16, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
There only 21 official Conan stories by REH. A large portion of Conan comics in the past have been adapted from non-REH stories or writer created. It appears that DHC is story-arcs that cover sections of Conan's life. Tng88 ( talk) 05:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I thought I should point out that the first issue of King Conan: The Phoenix and the Sword, indicates on the inner cover that it is number 5 in a series. The Scarlett Citadel books are numbered 1 to 4 on their inner covers. So, it would seem that King Conan is an ongoing series. I've not read them yet, but does Phoenix and the Sword pick up where Scarlett Citadel left off? - tSR - Nth Man ( talk) 17:04, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Not sure still, if a third series comes out and it's counted on the inside 9, 10, etc than I think we declare it an ongoing or at least a series of mini-series. Plastelin ( talk) 13:55, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
The actual REH stories don't have chronological structure, meaning you can read them in any order and be okay. I haven't looked at the Phoenix on the Sword issues yet but if the story is told in a manner similar to Scarlet Citadel, with King Conan recounting his version of events to a scribe, then it can be inferred that this is the order King Conan is recounting his adventures to the scribe. Tng88 ( talk) 05:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Ok, its confirmed, the third series, The Hour of the Dragon, has counted on the inside its first issue as issue 9 of the King Conan series. So will we present this as an ongoing series like the others or a series of mini-series? Plastelin ( talk) 23:26, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Well, each issue is framed with the Nemedian Chronicles talking with King Conan. I wouldn't consider it an ongoing series because each mini-series comes out some time after the previous one. 71.164.184.188 ( talk) 21:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
But they have an ongoing numbering for each issue? The first mini-series was numbered as King Conan 1-4, the second King Conan 5-8, and the third one now has started as King Conan 9. Also, it doesn't really matter if several months pass between the different story arcs, because that's actually something that is typical for Dark Horse comics. For example look at their Star Wars comics. The Star Wars - Dark Times series is considered an ongoing series but is in fact a series of mini-series/arcs with each one coming out months after the previous one. Plastelin ( talk) 21:44, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
That's not entirely correct. The inside numbering is like that however, the numbering on the covers is 1-4. It doesn't really matter to me. Tng88 ( talk) 06:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
1-4 on the covers is for the story arc, but the inside numbering for the overall King Conan series has been running from 1 up to 9 at the moment. Plastelin ( talk) 17:08, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
This column is used for the Conan series as an easy way to find where any individual story is collected. Yes, there is a collections section, but given that the collections span four separate ongoing series, it becomes difficult to track down which artists/writers/colorists were involved in a particular volume. With the Collections column reinstated this information is easily available and easy to read without having to go back and forth between the "issues" and "collections" sections, and without cluttering the "collections" section with information already laid out in full in the "issues" section.
Plastelin pointed out in an edit that this doubles up in information, and I agree to a point. Certainly it is not needed in the King Conan section where the collection method is significantly smaller and much less complicated, but for the Conan section, it streamlines the complicated way these stories are collected, especially for newcomers. The addition of this column makes the information easily accessible, which was the reason for my restructure of these tables in the first place.

I've just done an extensive clean up of this section, corrected a lot of incorrect information, and added further details from the Dark Horse Comics official site. However, I'm still missing some information.
-- Hellboybookeeper ( talk) 06:02, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
I've made some big changes. The "Conan" section is no longer about the ongoing series exclusively. Now it is about all Conan-branded stories (as distinct from the King Conan stories, which have their own numbering). The "Collections" sections from the original version of the "Conan" section and the "Miniseries and one-shots" section have now been collapsed into a single section, "Conan collections". This way all the material is visible in the one place. It makes much more sense this way.
What was previously "Miniseries and one-shots" is now "Conan (Miniseries and one-shots)" as a subsection of "Conan".
Hopefully this should make the page much easier to read, and will make it clear the King Conan is a series distinct from Conan. -- Hellboybookeeper ( talk) 12:36, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
