Conan the Barbarian #3
In "Valley of Forever Night," Conan encounters Vonndhar, a man cursed with immortality by the dark god Erlik, who has come to decide the fate of a woman named Jenna. As the two warriors face a trial of loyalty and sacrifice, a moment of profound betrayal leaves Conan disillusioned, and he departs from Jenna, striking out alone. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life with powerful artwork by John Buscema—both in pencils and inks—this 1984 issue features a striking cover by Buscema, capturing the grim intensity of the tale.
In "Valley of Forever Night," Conan and the sickly Jenna flee a deadly swordsman only to find themselves trapped in a cursed mountain valley, where a grotesque affliction spreads like shadow. As the two climb toward a haunted castle, they face horrors beyond flesh—until a monstrous alien guardian stands between them and salvation.
In "The Hand of Erlik," Conan crosses paths with Vonndhar, a mortal warrior cursed with immortality by the dark god Erlik. When Vonndhar arrives to judge Jenna’s fate, his sacrifice for her sparks a bitter reckoning—leaving Conan disillusioned and turning his back on her, setting out alone once more.
