In "Grottfolket," Conan leads the Ökenvargarna until jealousy and wrath from other zuagir chieftains turn the tide against him. With the help of the Lejongudens prästinna, they mark him with the god's sign—rendering him weak and weaponless—until his closest ally, Akhmed Sud, seizes control and banishes him. Reduced to a beggar, Conan is hunted by Järnlejonen, the priestess's enforcer, until Jepthah Ben Zuun helps him break free from his mental chains. Written by Michael Fleisher and Henrik Hårdråde, with art by Gary Kwapisz and Ernie Chan, and a striking cover by Christopher Moeller, this 1997 Semic issue delivers a gripping tale of betrayal, inner struggle, and redemption.
