Conan the Barbarian #31

In "The Shadow in the Tomb!", Conan the Barbarian finds himself deep in enemy territory, leading the Turanian army against the fierce Hill-Men in the hilly countryside. As the battle rages, Conan confronts a chilling foe he can't see—his own shadow, twisting and turning with a will of its own. The tension builds with a haunting twist in the final panel, where a single, telling detail about the sword hints at something far stranger than war. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Ernie Chua, and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1973 Marvel classic features a cover by Gil Kane and John Romita.
