Dark Horse Comics has announced plans to advertise its best-selling Conan comic books via approximately 200,000 advertising inserts in Todd McFarlane Productions' (TMP's) June-solicited Conan Action Figure Assortment (JUN041385Z), further increasing consumer demand for the white-hot series!

In addition, the advertisements are expected to include information on the Comic Shop Locator Service (CSLS), pointing to its toll-free number [(888) COMIC-BOOK] and the specialty shops it represents as the best way to find Dark Horse's Conan comics.

Written by Kurt Busiek (Astro City) and illustrated by Cary Nord, Dark Horse's Conan series has given new life to the seminal property, and has quickly developed into one of the publisher's top sellers! Scheduled to ship in August, TMP's Conan Action Figure Assortment will contain seven different figures -- Conan 1, Conan 2, Vanir Warrior, Belit as Stygian Priestess, Skifell, and Fire Dragon -- and is sure to be as highly coveted as previous TMP releases. Together, Dark Horse's Conan comics and TMP's Conan action figures will be powerful additions to any retailer's inventory!
