Most Valuable Conan the Barbarian Comic Books in 2025

Conan the Barbarian predates the dawn of comic book publishing.

Conan the Barbarian comics are popular in today's collector market

His first publication was in 1932. Created by Robert E. Howard, he went on to star in Weird Tales magazine and pulp books.

It wasn't until 1970 that Conan appeared in comics, published by Marvel.

His gory horror-story past was better served in magazine form, in the uncensored Savage Tales #1 in 1971, which included a decapitated head cover and also introduced Man-Thing.

Conan the Barbarian comic ran for a huge 275 issues, including the introduction of Red Sonja in #23.

Average price $450

Recent 9.8 Sale $8,000

Although Conan had appeared elsewhere, this was his first outing in comics.

His gory, blood-soaked past was censored by the Comics Code Authority, which is why Savage Tales #1 was so authentic.

The first appearance of Man-Thing is a side-note. This magazine was not subject to the same rules as comic books. The Comics Code Authority did not have jurisdiction over magazines.

This loophole allowed Marvel (and later others) to publish darker, more graphic imagery for adult readers, in this case featuring Conan the Barbarian.
