Conan #1/1985
Conan #1/1985 kicks off with "Fällan i Zamboula!"—a tale of treachery and vengeance set in the savage heart of Zamboula, where Conan seeks retribution against the cruel Othbaal. Written by Roy Thomas and Robert E. Howard, with art by John Buscema and inks by Alfredo Alcala, the story unfolds through vivid, dynamic pages, while Earl Norem’s striking cover captures the grim spectacle of a kingdom on the brink.
In "Fällan i Zamboula!", Conan is captured and tortured by the sorcerer Zafra, only to see him kill himself with his own cursed blade. Freed by Conan, the captive Isparana becomes entangled in a deadly revolt as nobleman Balad attempts to overthrow Akter Khan. As bloodshed unfolds and treachery takes its toll, Conan and Isparana must navigate the chaos and steer the uprising toward a new ruler—before the city descends into ruin.
In the savage heart of Hyboria, Conan rides a storm of vengeance and deceit, hunting the mad King Akhirom’s tyrannical enforcers—Anakiern, Kushites, and Hyrkanians—each led by ruthless commanders. When a slave girl named Rufia escapes her fate and convinces the king he’s a god, chaos ignites across the realm. With help from a cunning ally who hides his true identity, Conan rescues Rufia from a jealous rival, and the two flee as war erupts between the warring factions.
