Conan the Barbarian (2019) #18 - Full Script

Added 2023-12-12 00:26:01 +0000 UTC

Here's the full script for the second part of the 'Curse of the Nightstar' story that acts as a narrative bridge between 'Into the Crucible' and 'Land of the Lotus'.

Because we received our 'pencils down' order from Marvel midway through production, I genuinely thought this story would never see completion and that my Marvel Conan the Barbarian run would be finished with only 2 issues released and 5 produced. Six months later we did get rolling again, but by that point the artist on part 1 was no longer available so Luca Pizzari stepped in to finish it off.

There are a lot of ambitious visuals I ask for in the script and some of it makes it to the page while other parts get lost in the shuffle. Everyone did the best they could under the circumstances.
