When Silus hires Conan as a bodyguard for the dangerous dig, the journey into Ororium’s depths quickly turns deadly—first with ambushes, then with a monstrous worm that strikes without warning. With Roy Thomas scripting and John Buscema’s legendary art bringing the savage world to life, this first issue of Conan: Death Covered in Gold sets a grim, relentless tone. Geof Isherwood and Scott Hanna’s cover captures the tale’s shadowed, perilous mood.
In "Golden Shadows," Conan takes on a dangerous escort job in the decadent city of Khorala when Silus, a desperate man with a claim to a long-abandoned gold mine, hires him as a bodyguard. As the pair descend into the treacherous tunnels of Ororium, they’re ambushed by killers—only to face a far deadlier threat beneath the earth. When the dust settles, Conan finds himself bound by a promise to help Silus’s daughter, Marni, reclaim what’s hers, even as the mine’s secrets begin to stir.
