“The Dark Blade of Jergal Zadh”

In "The Dark Blade of Jergal Zadh," Conan is hunted by the sorcerer Cleolanthe, sent to claim him by the enigmatic Jergal Zadh. As the fate of a future king hangs in the balance, the blade's soul-stealing power tests Conan’s will—while Cleolanthe’s loyalty shifts in ways no one could foresee. Written by Michael Fleisher and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Ernie Chan, and vibrant colors by George Roussos, this 1983 Marvel classic features a haunting cover by Michael Golden.

Jergal Zadh discovers that Conan will one day be king and sends Cleolanthe after him. Cleolanthe tricks Conan into using the soul-stealing Dark Blade. Falling in love with him, Cleolanthe turns against Zadh and stops Conan from using the Blade. Without Zadh's powers keeping her youthful, Cleolanthe embraces Conan one last time and crumbles to dust.
