Conan Saga #6

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 stir beneath the waves. Facing the twisted might of Xiombarg, the cursed Prince Gaynor the Damned, the sorcerer Kulan-Gath, and the enigmatic Terhali, their combined strength proves insufficient—forcing an unexpected ally to step into the fray.

In the frozen ruins of a forgotten war, Conan pursues the fierce warrior Atali across a snow-laden battlefield, cutting down her two monstrous frost giant brothers in a clash of steel and ice. Just as he captures her, the towering presence of her father, the ancient giant Ymir, emerges from the storm—claiming her with a power that defies mortal grasp.

In "Hawks from the Sea!" from Conan Saga #6 (1987), Conan, serving the Turanian war machine, leads a siege on the city of Makkalet, where whispers of the Living Tarim stir ancient dread. As flames streak across the battlefield and a wounded Fafnir falls to a flaming arrow, Conan crosses paths with the enigmatic Balthaz—setting the stage for a clash of wills in a world where myth and blood run deep.

In "The Sword and the Sorcerers!", novelist Len Carson attempts to end his legendary sword and sorcery series by killing off its star, Starr the Slayer—but when the character steps out of the pages and into the real world, Len’s final chapter becomes a deadly reality. As Starr fights for survival against the very author who crafted him, the line between creator and creation blurs in a tale of power, rebellion, and the peril of storytelling.
