      Built on a site of great and forgotten power, the mammoth Bentham International Hospital was to be the very definition of modern medical science at its best. But over the years, the spectres and dark secrets of the Hospital began to bore away at its heart, leaving its foundations cracked and vulnerable to the oldest of horrors and nightmares. When a prominent Commissioner of the City's Housing and Urban Development Department is brought to the Panopticon for evaluation after murdering her family, the haunted secrets of the hospital begin to unravel, leaving no one untouched. Julius, the prosthetic boy in room 13 is waking up. The black eggs are found. The lines between the patients and the doctors are blurring. This is where the end begins. Every cure is paid with a curse and every sin is birthed anew as the once brilliant light of modern medicine forsakes the world for the shadows it can no longer hide.

    • Veleúspěšná komiksová řada věrně odrážející původní předlohu spisovatele Roberta E. Howarda. Úchvatný příběh Conanova mládí, počínaje jeho narozením přímo na cimerském bitevním poli a konče dosažením dospělosti během slavné bitvy u Venaria. Kniha je kronikou prvních Conanových vítězství, ať už v boji či v lásce, a pozoruhodnou výpravou za kořeny Conanova slavného života. Zároveň je také skvělou ukázkou vypravěčského mistrovství scenáristy Kurta Busieka a výtvarníka Grega Rutha.
