“Maddoc's Reign”

In "Maddoc's Reign," Conan arrives at the court of King Maddoc II with a dire warning of looming danger. Forced to prove his worth by scaling the tower and retrieving the lost ring of the former king, Conan's journey tests more than his strength—it reveals something far older and more dangerous than he anticipated. Written by Jim Owsley and brought to life with bold art by John Buscema, this 1986 issue features dynamic inks by Ernie Chan, vibrant colors by George Roussos, and precise lettering by Janice Chiang, all under a striking cover by Buscema.
