In "The Ballad of Belit!", Conan listens as N’yaga recounts the tale of Bêlit, the warrior princess wronged by her uncle Nim-Karrak, who seized her father’s throne and had him murdered. Raised in secret by N’yaga and believed to be the daughter of the goddess Derketa, Bêlit rose to become the tribe’s greatest warrior—only to be betrayed by Chief Uzumi, who sent her on a doomed mission to the Mound-Dwellers. Now a pirate queen, she sails the seas with vengeance in her heart. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with bold, dynamic precision by John Buscema, with inks by Steve Gan and lettering by Joe Rosen, this issue’s cover by Nestor Redondo captures the mythic scale of her story.
