Dark Horse is pleased to report that despite a hefty overprint, the first issue of the exciting new Conan series featuring story by Kurt Busiek and art by Cary Nord, has completely sold out on its first day of release!

"I'm just grateful to the creative team for making this possible," enthused Conan editor Scott Allie. " We knew that Conan would be a big property for us, but the sincerity with which these guys attacked the job -- from cover to letters and everything in between -- is what makes the book irresistible. I personally never took on the launch of a new book with as much gravity as I took on Conan, and I've never been so proud of the result."

Allie revealed that the second printing will feature a new variant cover by noted artist J. Scott Campbell, best known for his work on Gen13 and Danger Girl.

The expected release date for the second printing of Conan #1 is March 24.
