Robert E. Howard's Savage Sword #6

"Sargasso of Sand" delivers a pulse-pounding chapter in Conan’s saga, written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with gritty elegance by Tony DeZuniga on pencils and inks, with Jim Campbell’s evocative colors. When a king’s emissary ignores Conan’s warnings, only Conan and Jamal survive the Khozgari betrayal—only to be hunted through the Misty Mountains by the Demons of the Summit. Captured and forced into a grim fate, Shanya, the daughter of a Khozgari chief, becomes the target of Shangara, leader of the summit people, who plans to use her as a mate for himself and his son. The cover, a striking collaboration by Francesco Francavilla, Ernie Chan, and Richard Pace, captures the tale’s dark, mythic tone.
