Les Chroniques de Conan #1983 (II)
In "Le dévoreur d'âmes," Conan faces his most elusive adversary yet: the cunning bandit Snow Raven, whose schemes consistently outwit him. Trapped in a Kathai prison, Conan is offered freedom if he rescues the kidnapped princess of Kushan from a fanatical Rat cult—but even his victory is stolen by the woman who always stays one step ahead. With John Buscema’s dynamic art and Ernie Chan’s sharp inks bringing the action to life, this tale of deception and survival sees Conan triumph not through brute force, but through quiet cunning. Cover by Earl Norem.
