Eclipso #54
In "L'exterminateur," Conan stumbles upon the ruins of the forgotten city of Lanjau, where he fights a monstrous lizard and teams up with a nameless mercenary to uncover its lost treasure. As undead guardians of the crypt rise to stop them—only to be undone by sunlight—an earthquake seals the city and its secrets beneath the earth. With the mercenary lost and the treasure buried, Conan escapes to a nearby village, where he reunites with Jenna—only to flee once more when soldiers arrive, riding hard on horseback. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Smith, with inks by Tom Sutton and Tom Palmer, the cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer captures the tale’s raw, mythic urgency.
