“Fragments: A Witch's Tale”

In "Fragments: A Witch's Tale," Conan the King faces a sinister enchantress as young Prince Taurus becomes the target of Mad Zandra’s dark magic. With help from Dexitheus and his Black Dragons, Conan races to rescue the boy, only to find himself outwitted when Zandra transforms Taurus into a black goat. The tale unfolds with high stakes and eerie twists, culminating in a fiery confrontation and a transformation left unfinished—leaving Taurus with a goat hoof and Conan protecting his family from a sorceress whose magic has unintended consequences. Written by Alan Zelenetz and illustrated by Dave Simons, with inks by Geof Isherwood, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Richard Parker, the issue’s haunting atmosphere is matched by Mike Kaluta and Charles Vess’s striking cover art.

Mad Zandra begins teaching the young Prince dark magic. Conan searches for Taurus with the help of Dexitheus, and his Black Dragons. As they grow closer to Taurus, Zandra changes Taurus into a black goat to disguise him from his father. Conan is able to thwart Zandra and burns her cottage down with the black goat inside. Taurus uses Zandra's grimoire to turn back to human but gets interrupted, so his incomplete transformation leaves him with a goat hoof. Conan takes Taurus back home, Zandra tries to use her amulet to get the boy back. Not realizing Conan has two sons, she ends up getting Conn.
