Stan Lee Media -- Conan the Barbarian Was STOLEN From Us!

A company founded by comic book god Stan Lee has declared war over the new "Conan the Barbarian" movie -- claiming the rights to the character were stolen from it ... and now it's demanding 100% of the proceeds from the flick.

It's a tale of treason ... if you ask Stan Lee Media, Inc. ... which claims it bought the rights to all things Conan in 2000.

According to a lawsuit filed in federal court in L.A., Lee claims his company went bankrupt in 2001 -- which would have prevented anyone from taking the rights to Conan away from him.

But SLMI claims the company was betrayed by a former lawyer, who made an illegal deal to move the rights to another company behind SLMI's back ... a company that later gave the green light to make the new Conan movie.

Now, SLMI wants a judge to rule that it is still the rightful owner of Conan ... and it's demanding every single cent the movie makes.

FYI -- "Conan" grossed $10 mil this weekend.
