Conan (TV series)/Headscratchers

This page is for the Dark Horse Conan comic series.


 * I find myself equally as interested in the Framing Device about the Eastern Prince as I am in Conan's exploits. But my question is, why does Dark Horse keep restarting this story? I have all the TPBs released so far and at least three different books start out with the Prince stumbling on Conan's tomb/treasure horde and discovering the Nemedian Chronicles, then continue the Conan story where the last book left off. So is this a genuine b-plot that is actually going somewhere or not? If not, why bother with it in the first place?
 * You know what bugs me? The random link to this page from Conan... as in Conan O Brien.
