“The Hour of the Griffin!”

In "The Hour of the Griffin!", Conan the Barbarian races against time in the city of Makkalet, where death and betrayal hang in the air. With the Living Tarim gone and Prince Yezdigerd descending on the city, Conan and Chumballa Bey must protect Queen Melissandra as King Eannatum's reign comes to a violent end. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with bold art by John Buscema, Ernie Chua, and Glynis Wein, this issue pulses with the raw energy of sword and sorcery, all framed by a striking cover by John Romita and John Buscema, inked by Ernie Chan.
