Conan the Barbarian #5
In "The Witches of Nexxx," Conan is drawn into a deadly pact with the enigmatic Liirix, who offers passage home in exchange for dismantling the Sect of the Unknowable One.

DeMatteis and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Bob McLeod, with inks by McLeod and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1985 issue features a cover by John Buscema and Terry Austin.
