Collection the Savage Sword of Conan #53
"Le sang des frères" delivers a pulse-pounding moment in the Savage Sword of Conan series, with John Buscema’s legendary art bringing the raw intensity of the Hyborian Age to life. In a stark, cavernous scene, Conan crouches in readiness, sword drawn, as a monstrous humanoid looms over his captives, while four men flee in terror beyond. The cover by Earl Norem captures the same visceral dread, perfectly framing the story’s brutal, high-stakes tension.
In "Le sang des frères," Conan, shipwrecked while returning from Vendhya, finds himself drawn into a deadly power struggle among three siblings vying for control of their father’s mummified remains. With the sands shifting and ancient secrets buried beneath the ruins, the Cimmerian must navigate treachery and bloodshed in a land where legacy is measured in bones.
In "L'esprit de la bête," Conan and his crew sail north from the realm of Lord-Inka, drawn into a land where once peaceful tribes now live in fear under a sorcerer’s dark rule—his power binding the wild beasts to his will. The story unfolds as the Cimmerian king confronts a menace born of ancient magic and untamed nature, where every shadow hides a threat and every beast may be a weapon.
