Dark Horse and Funcom Creates Unique 'Age of Conan' Comic Exciting new Conan adventure leading into the storyline of 'Age of Conan'	By Silviu Stahie, Video and PC Games Editor 4th of June 2006, 07:42 GMT Adjust text size:


Funcom announced the creation of a unique comic book specifically designed to tie-in with the storyline of 'Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures', the Massively Multiplayer Online Game. The comic is created by the Dark Horse Comics team, and Conan luminaries like Cary Nord, Scott Allie, Gaute Godager, Tim Truman and Tone Rodriguez are creatively involved. The unique comic book will premiere at the Comic-Con convention this summer, and will be printed in 400.000 copies. "Everyone at Funcom is in awe of the tremendous quality of the Conan comic books, and we were thrilled we could work with Dark Horse on a comic tying into our game", said Gaute Godager, co-founder of Funcom and Game Director on 'Age of Conan'. "I feel certain the comic will deliver a brutal and entertaining experience, and I hope this will mark the start of additional co-developed projects in the years to come." "All of us at Dark Horse are truly excited to see one of our favorite properties brought to life in the video game world." said Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Comics. "We are very impressed with what Funcom has done with the Conan license, and we have worked closely with them on this project to ensure consistency in story and art direction. The end result will take the character in new and exciting directions beyond the pages of the comic itself."
