In "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth [Part I]," Conan and Fafnir the Vanir find themselves stranded on the mysterious island of Bal-Sagoth, where their initial hostility gives way to uneasy alliance. Together with a rescued girl named Kyrie, they confront the high priest Gothan in a desperate bid to restore her as the goddess and queen Aala. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life by Gil Kane’s dynamic art with inks by Ralph Reese, this story from the original Marvel years features a cover by Jim Starlin, capturing the mythic dread of a forgotten realm.
Conan and Fafnir the Vanir, once foes, find themselves stranded on the forgotten island of Bal-Sagoth, where survival demands uneasy alliance. When they rescue a girl named Kyrie, they must confront the island’s high priest Gothan to restore her as the long-lost goddess and queen Aala.
In "Shadows in Zamboula," Conan, wounded and stranded after a brutal encounter with cannibals, finds himself drawn into a perilous quest when he rescues the mysterious Zabibi. Together, they seek the legendary Star of Khorala, a magical ring said to hold power over life and death—its true nature as dangerous as the shadows that stalk the ancient city.
In "The Devil in Iron [Part I]," Conan finds himself ensnared in a deadly game on the isolated island of Xapur, where Jehungir and Ghaznavi scheme to use Octavia as bait. Unbeknownst to them, the island’s ancient curse has stirred a forgotten warrior from beneath the waves—awakening a force neither man nor god may survive.
Conan and Yasmina race through the desert, pursued by the Wazulis, only to be ambushed by Khemsa and Gitara. In the chaos, four mysterious wizards emerge, exacting brutal vengeance on their attackers before seizing Yasmina from Conan’s grasp.
In the distant past of 9,500 B.C., as the Aquilonian empire crumbles and the Hyrkanian horde sweeps across the land, the world teeters on the edge of ruin. With the ice age forcing northern tribes south and ancient forces reshaping the continents, the stage is set for a clash of empires and the dawn of a new age—where survival is not just a battle, but a reckoning.
Conan finds himself betrayed by the Afguli clans, forcing him to abandon his plan to rescue Yasmina alone. With newfound allies in Kerim Shah and his loyal men, he prepares for the perilous assault on the towers, where danger and treachery await.
In "The Tower of the Elephant," young Conan ventures into the legendary tower to steal the fabled Heart of the Elephant, only to discover a noble creature trapped within by the sorcerer Yara. The story unfolds in the shadowy depths of the tower, where danger and ancient magic test Conan’s wits and courage.
