Conan #5/1999

In "Red Wind Out of Acheron," an ancient curse stirs as Lord Grondee's excavation of Acheron's ruins awakens a crimson blade once wielded by the invincible warrior Thun'da Snömane. When Grondee touches the weapon, he's possessed by Thun'da's vengeful spirit, unleashing chaos across the land. Conan and Helliana find themselves caught in the storm, confronting not just a mad lord, but the unsettling power of a weapon that even Conan can't resist. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Stefano Raffaele, with inks by Ralph Cabrera and colors by John Kalisz, this issue features a cover by Paolo Parente.
