In "Riders of the River-Dragons! (Amra part 1)," Conan, Belit, and their corsair crew fight to defend the island city of Kelka from the ruthless pirate Auro and his Argossean raiders. After a brutal clash, they’re captured by Kelka’s enigmatic ruler, Akkheba, who offers them wine that soon clouds their minds. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Ernie Chan, this story from the original Marvel years features a striking cover by Gil Kane and John Romita, with inks by Pablo Marcos and John Romita.
In "On the Track of the She-Pirate!", Conan follows a trail of danger through the jungles of Watambi Village, where treachery brews among his crew and a captured Belit faces the wrath of a monstrous Giant Moth. With Kawaku’s mutiny crushed and Crocodile Warriors closing in, Conan’s blade cuts through the wilds as he races to reclaim his prize—before the jungle claims them all.
In "Fiends of the Feathered Serpent!" from *Conan the Barbarian: The Original Marvel Years Epic Collection #5*, the savage sea captain Ahmaan the Merciless sails toward a cursed island where the past rises in blood and serpent-scaled terror. Conan, Belit, and their allies must survive the island’s ancient horrors—and a deadly betrayal—before the feathered serpent claims them all.
In the sun-scorched streets of Messantia, Conan’s blade finally meets the Man-tiger’s fury, breaking the beast’s hold on Yusef and freeing the captive. With Belit’s rivalry with Red Sonja now a blade’s edge, the three are drawn into a deadly chase through the city’s crumbling alleys—where every shadow could be a trap and every step could be their last.
In "The Demon out of the Deep!" from *Conan the Barbarian: The Original Marvel Years Epic Collection #5*, the sea-worn warrior recounts a chilling tale from his youth to Belit, set in the shadow of Tigris and Vanir village on the Western Sea. Captured by the Vanirmen, Conan faces a monstrous threat from the deep—only to survive by slaying a terrifying merman, a deed that leaves a trail of blood and loss in its wake.
In "The City in the Storm!", Conan, Belit, and their corsair crew fight to defend the island city of Kelka from the ruthless pirate Auro and his Argossean raiders. After the battle, they are betrayed by Kelka’s ruler, Akkheba, who offers them wine laced with a drugging substance.
In the island city of Kelka, Conan and Belit fight their way through treacherous streets, freeing Astarta from captivity only to face the wrath of a vengeful sea-god. As the city crumbles around them, betrayal looms in the shadows, and Belit’s blade finds its mark against a deadly foe—yet the true cost of their escape remains uncertain.
