By Crom! A second ongoing Conan the Barbarian comic book, Savage Sword of Conan, was announced by Marvel at New York Comic Con on Saturday during the Marvel: Next Big Thing Panel.

Debuting in February, Savage Sword of Conan will comes from the creative team of writer Gerry Duggan, artist Ron Garney, colorist Richard Isanove and a first issue cover by Alex Ross. The story will follow Conan across the high seas, and promises treasure, fighting, romance, and as Duggan told Marvel.com, “Conan swinging all kinds of weapons at death cultist’s heads.”

Each issue, along with the previously announced Conan The Barbarian by Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, and Esad Ribic, will run serialized novellas as a nod to Conan’s pulp fiction past.

Duggan, in particular, is a longtime fan of the character. "My first job was in 7th grade, working part-time at a comics shop that needed help going through their inventory," he said. "I fell in love with the classic Conan material that year. To be able to play in this sandbox now is a dream come true."

He added, "I wrote my first 'By Crom!' into a script the other day, and I stopped for a moment to say, 'Oh… That feels as good as a SNIKT or a THWIP!'”
