Conan #2/1984

In "Trollkarlens amulett," young Conan sneaks into the fortress of the sorcerer Hisarr Zul, drawn by whispers of the legendary Eye of Erlik. There, he finds himself entangled with Ajhindar, a royal agent from Iranistan, and the rival pair Isparana and Karamek, who serve the rightful heir, the khan of Zamboula. When Hisarr Zul traps Conan’s soul in a mirror and commands him to reclaim the amulet, the thief must navigate treachery and sorcery in a race where every ally might be an enemy.

In "Dödens oas!", Conan rides across the desert toward Zamboula, tracking the thief Isparana and the stolen amulet Erliks öga. After killing a band of raiders in an oasis, he encounters the Turanian soldier Arsil and his men, who are hunting the same thieves—leading Conan to learn of a hidden pass through the Drakbergen, guarded by a sand demon who reveals himself as Hisarr Zuls long-lost brother Tosya, and who demands Conan’s promise to kill Hisarr Zul before letting him pass.

In the desert's hidden oasis, Conan faces Isparana in a tense showdown, swapping the cursed amulet Erlik’s Eye for a forged copy. Captured by slave traders, the two are rescued by the Turanian soldier Arsil and his men, only to be drawn into a deadly game with the treacherous Hisarr Zul, who seeks the amulet’s power at any cost.
