In "Swords of the South!", Conan finds himself caught in a deadly game of deception when Lady Aztrias of Numalia hires him to steal from the wealthy merchant Kallian—only to turn on him when Kallian is found dead and the bowl said to hold a great treasure proves empty. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Smith, with inks by Dan Adkins and Sal Buscema, this 1975 Marvel classic unfolds with relentless tension as Conan confronts a serpent-man killer hidden within the bowl’s shadow. The cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer captures the grim, exotic menace of the tale.

In "The Lurker Within," Conan rescues Lady Aztrias of Numalia from a pack of wolves, only to be drawn into a deadly mystery when she hires him to steal a mysterious bowl from the wealthy merchant Kallian. The theft leads to Kallian’s death and a shocking accusation—Conan is framed for murder—until the true horror emerges from the empty bowl: a serpent-man with a human head, a creature tied to ancient sorcery. The story unfolds with relentless tension, culminating in a vision of the dreaded sorcerer Thoth-Amon.
