Conan #1/1990

In "I menneskeslangens grep," Conan finds himself caught between danger and deception when he rescues Lady Aztrias of Numalia from a pack of wolves. She hires him to steal a mysterious bowl from the wealthy merchant Kallian—only for Conan to discover the bowl empty and Kallian dead, with the city guard closing in and Aztrias accusing him of murder. As shadows move within the house, a serpent-man with a human head emerges from the bowl, and Conan must fight not just for his life, but for the truth behind the ancient sorcery that stirs in the night.

In "Gravkammerets voktere," Conan stumbles upon the ruined city of Lanjau, where he battles a monstrous lizard before joining forces with a nameless mercenary to claim its long-lost treasure. As they face the undead guardians of the crypt—defeated only by sunlight—an earthquake seals the ruins beneath the earth. Left with nothing but the memory of the lost hoard, Conan finds himself back in a nearby village, where he reunites with Jenna. When soldiers arrive to arrest him, the two flee on horseback, the past and pursuit closing in.
