The Hyborian Age of Conan (Circa 10,000 B.C.)

Comic book map of the homeworld of Conan the Barbarian.

“This, then, is the “Age Undreamed Of”, when shining kingdoms lie spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.” Text, upper left.

The story of Conan the Barbarian began in 1932, when Robert Howard first wrote the character to life in a serial comic publication called “Weird Tales.” At the time of Howard’s suicide in 1936, he had written 21 complete stories about the sword-wielding hero.

The copyright to the character was passed through numerous hands in the ensuing decades, and lawsuits between conflicting claims continue to pop up occasionally. The franchise has expanded greatly and been adopted across multiple media like television, novels, video games, and live-action films.

This small and colorful map, based on an original designed by Robert Howard, covers a portion of the Hyborian World, including Conan’s homeland of Cimmeria. Various kingdoms and geographic features that play a role in the lore are labeled throughout. Published in New York by Marvel Comics Group in 1978.
