The Savage Sword of Conan #4
In "Iron Shadows in the Moon [Chapter I]," Conan and Olivia are stranded on a mysterious island, forced to spend the night amid enigmatic inhabitants whose presence looms with quiet menace. As dawn breaks, Conan seeks to join a newly arrived pirate crew, but the island’s secrets may not let him leave so easily. Written by Roy Thomas and Robert E. Howard, with dynamic art by John Buscema and Alfredo Alcalá, this issue captures the raw, primal tension of the Hyborian Age. The cover, a striking illustration by Boris Vallejo, sets the tone with its haunting, moonlit intensity.
