Conan #2/1985

In "Den djävulska ringen," Conan crosses paths once more with the fierce warrior-woman Röda Sonja, drawn into a dark mystery surrounding the resurrection of the executed sorcerer Costranno. As Costranno seeks to sacrifice the beautiful Berthilda to ancient gods, the duo must confront the rising threat—only to find that Berthilda’s greed will awaken the sorcerer once again, leaving them too far away to stop it. Written by Roy Thomas and Robert E. Howard, with art by John Buscema and Pablo Marcos, and a striking cover by Boris Vallejo, this 1985 Semic issue delivers classic sword-and-sorcery tension with a haunting twist.
