Conan the Barbarian is a comics book title starring the sword-and-sorcery character created by Robert E. Howard, published by the American company Marvel Comics. It debuted with a first issue cover-dated October 1970 and ran for 275 issues until 1993. A commercial success, the title launched a sword-and-sorcery vogue in American 1970s comics.

Marvel Comics reacquired the publishing rights in 2018 and started a new run of Conan the Barbarian in January 2019, at first with the creative team of writer Jason Aaron and artist Mahmud A. Asrar. This run ended in November 2021 after 25 issues, when Titan Comics acquired the license to publish Conan comic books in 2022.
