Savage Tales #6
In "The Keepers of the Crypt," Conan ventures into the ruined city of Lanjau, where he battles a monstrous lizard and teams up with a nameless mercenary to claim its lost treasure. As undead keepers of the crypt rise to stop them, sunlight proves their undoing—until an earthquake buries the city and its secrets. With the mercenary lost, Conan escapes to a nearby village, where he reunites with Jenna, only to flee on horseback when soldiers arrive. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with striking detail by Barry Smith, with inks by Tom Sutton and Tom Palmer, and lettered by Sam Rosen, this 1975 issue delivers a classic sword-and-sorcery adventure with a cover by Barry Smith.
