Conan the Barbarian returns in the most beloved tale of his career next month when Conan the Barbarian #1 by Brian Wood and art by Becky Cloonan hits shelves, and we want you, with a sword in hand--or pencil or paintbrush--to draw, paint, or collage a Conan Pin-Up to rival all Pin-Ups. Stoke up the savage fire, Amp up the action shot and bring Conan to life in your own hand.

We want you to Create a Conan cover like we've never seen before. Think hard, get some inspiration and bring Conan to life! Send us your entry at Contests [at] darkhorse [dot] com.

If your Conan Pin-up is the strongest, manliest, sexiest, and most savage piece we recieve we will print your art in the back of an upcoming issue of Conan the Barbarian.
