Conan #5/1974

In "Dormammus Fall," Ka-Zar and Zaladane crash-land in the heart of the lost jungle, where they’re led to the Black Lake—source of Garokk’s immortality. As Ka-Zar faces a deadly guardian, Garokk’s growing madness threatens to consume him, but the lake’s power may be his undoing. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Barry Smith, with inks by Frank Giacoia, and a cover by Thord Lindblom, this 1974 tale blends primal danger with the cost of unchecked power.
