Conan the Barbarian #15 (1972) delivers a wild, sword-and-sorcery clash in "The Green Empress of Melniboné," where Conan and Elric form a tense alliance to reach the drowned ruins of Yagala. With ancient horrors like Xiombarg, Prince Gaynor the Damned, Kulan-Gath, and Terhali rising against them, their strength alone isn’t enough—until a mysterious figure named Arkyn steps in. Written by Roy Thomas, Michael Moorcock, and Jim Cawthorn, with dynamic art by Barry Smith and inks by Buscema and Barry Windsor-Smith, and a striking cover by Barry Windsor-Smith, this 60-cent adventure from 1972 blends myth and madness in unforgettable fashion.
