In "Honor Among Thieves!", Conan, along with the resourceful Tetra and her father Zacharus, ventures deep into the wilds of the Pict lands in search of a long-lost treasure map’s missing half—hidden in the chest of the fallen warrior Delmurio. As treachery stirs beneath the surface, the cunning shaman Kawagne conspires with the sinister wizard Nostume, while the white man Keiv’s fate takes a monstrous turn when he’s betrayed by the very magic he trusted. Written by Jim Owsley and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Bob Camp, and colors by George Roussos, this 1985 Marvel classic features a cover by Ernie Chan.
