“The Ballad of Belit!”

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.

Conan hears the story of Bêlit from N’yaga's lips. Bêlit is the rightful heir to the throne Asaglun. When she was a child, her uncle Nim-Karrak overthrew and killed her father, the king. N'yaga saved her life and rejoined his tribe, where he spread the legend that Bêlit was the daughter of Derketa, goddess of death. Bêlit grew up to become the best warrior of the tribe. The jealous Chief Uzumi sent her on a suicide mission to reclaim a relic from the Mound-Dwellers, but ended up getting killed himself. As the new chief, Bêlit turned to piracy in order to raise funds for her revenge.
