In "Devil-Wings over Shadizar," Conan finds himself drawn into a deadly cult ritual in the city of Shadizar, where a mysterious night god—revealed to be a colossal bat-like entity—demands a sacrifice. With the beautiful waitress Jenna in peril, Conan must battle both the monstrous deity and the fanatical priestess Hajii, only to have his victory undercut by Jenna’s swift escape with his gold. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with bold, dynamic art by Barry Smith, with inks by Sal Buscema and letters by Mike Stevens, this issue delivers a classic tale of peril and betrayal. The cover, a striking piece by Barry Windsor-Smith, captures the eerie menace of the night god in haunting detail.

In the shadowed streets of Shadizar, Conan crosses paths with the elusive waitress Jenna, only to find her snatched by fanatical cultists bound for a sacrifice to a night god never seen by mortal eyes. When the beast is revealed—a monstrous, bat-winged entity that rules the dark—the Cimmerian must fight through terror and faith to rescue her, even as Jenna’s own cunning proves as vital as his blade. Their alliance is brief, but the cost of survival is measured in gold—and betrayal.
