Conan the Barbarian #73

In "He Who Waits—In the Well of Skelos!", Conan finds himself entangled in a deadly web on a remote island where Belit hides her stolen gold. When Kawaku leads a mutiny against her, it ends in bloodshed—only for Belit, M'gora, and Laranga to pull Conan from the brink of death. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, Ernie Chan, and George Roussos, this 1977 Marvel classic blends peril, loyalty, and the ever-present shadow of fate. The cover by Gil Kane and Ernie Chan captures the story’s brooding intensity.
