"Terreur dans les marais" delivers a classic Conan tale from 1975, blending gritty adventure with supernatural dread. Written by Roy Thomas and Robert E. Howard, with Barry Smith’s dynamic art and Sal Buscema and Dan Adkins’ sharp inks, the story follows Conan as he’s drawn into a deadly mystery involving a stolen bowl, a murdered merchant, and a serpent-man born from ancient evil. The cover by Jim Starlin, Marie Severin, and Frank Giacoia captures the tale’s eerie tension perfectly.

In "Le dieu diabolique," Conan finds himself entangled in a deadly game when he rescues Lady Aztrias of Numalia from wolves. She hires him to steal a mysterious bowl from the wealthy merchant Kallian—only for Conan to discover the bowl empty and Kallian dead, with the city guard closing in and Aztrias accusing him of murder. The true threat emerges from the bowl itself: a serpent-man with a human head, a creature of ancient evil. As Conan fights for survival, a vision of the sorcerer Thoth-Amon flashes through his mind, hinting at a far older conspiracy.
