Conan #5/1993

Conan #5/1993 delivers a gritty, action-packed chapter in the barbarian’s saga, set in the kingdom of Turbin-D'Qhat where Conan, a loyal legosoldat, finds himself betrayed by King Maklos. As the king attempts to eliminate Conan and his men, the duo flees to spark a rebellion—while the scheming alchemist Gabrelle Pok works in secret, stitching together a monstrous abomination from corpses and using the dancer Trelinka to undermine Conan’s resolve. With John Buscema’s dynamic art and Ernie Chan’s sharp inks bringing the brutal world to life, this issue sees Conan outmaneuver his enemies in a daring assault on the capital, culminating in a shocking twist that turns the tide. Cover by Earl Norem captures the raw intensity of the moment.
