Conan Saga #6

Oct 1987 · Marvel · 2.00 USD; 2.75 CAD; 0.40 GBP
“The Green Empress of Melnibone”

In "The Green Empress of Melnibone," Conan and Elric forge a tense alliance as they journey to the drowned ruins of Yagala, where ancient horrors await. Facing off against the cursed Prince Gaynor the Damned, the sorcerer Kulan-Gath, the beast Terhali, and the dread Xiombarg, their combined strength proves insufficient—until a mysterious ally named Arkyn steps in to turn the tide. Written by Roy Thomas, Michael Moorcock, and James Cawthorn, with dynamic art by Barry Smith and inks by Sal Buscema, this 1987 Marvel adventure blends sword and sorcery with mythic stakes. The cover, a striking piece by Barry Windsor-Smith, captures the clash of empires and emperors in a single, unforgettable image.
