Conan #2/1997

In "Svart-kåporna i Ophir," Conan returns to the wealthy kingdom of Ophir, now torn by coup and treachery. With the queen deposed and her guards divided, the power-hungry Balthis and the cunning Shahela each seek to claim the throne—while Conan, pretending to be Ophir’s legendary founder Thanus, rallies the people in a bold bid to restore justice.

In "Hav utan återvändo," Conan arrives in the small city-state of Ravonna just as Princess Crigatha prepares to marry the King of Alcalais. Drawn into the court's deadly intrigues, he travels with the royal entourage to Alcalais—only to discover that the slain envoy Jabezo is not dead, but a dark sorcerer who has spent decades manipulating events from the shadows. With the princess's fate hanging in the balance, Conan must unravel a conspiracy woven through betrayal and magic before it’s too late.

In "Fruktan för Crom!" from Conan #2/1997, Conan leads a band of warriors from Argos in a brutal siege of the grim city of Khemi, pushing his men to the limit as they haul a massive catapult into position atop a steep hill. The weight of battle and the looming threat of the enemy city press down on them all.
