I discovered Conan The King on the spinner racks. I think the first issue I found was Conan The King #6. It was a lighthearted series about Conan's relationship with his family and his kingdom. At least, that's how I remember it.
Later, when Marvel renamed the series King Conan, the stories grew darker. Conan's young heart yearned for adventure. His older head struggled with sacrificing his needs for those he loved. But then, Conan had his mirth and his melancholy. It'd be interesting to reread these stories and compare them with the recollections of my old head and young heart.
