“I dödens grepp”

In "I dödens grepp," Conan is hired by the noblewoman Aztrias of Numalia to steal a mysterious relic from the wealthy merchant Kallian, who temporarily guards a Stygian chalice said to hold an immeasurable treasure. When Conan breaks into Kallian’s home and finds the chalice empty and the merchant dead, he’s framed by Aztrias as the killer—only to face a far more monstrous threat: a reptilian creature with a human head, lurking within the very vessel. The story, written by Robert E. Howard and Roy Thomas, features bold artwork by Barry Smith with inks by Sal Buscema and Dan Adkins, and a striking cover by Thord Lindblom.

Conan räddar adelsdamen Aztrias av Numalia från vargar. Hon lejer Conan att stjäla en skatt från den rike handelsmannen Kallian, som tillfälligt har hand om en mystisk skål från Stygia, som sägs innehålla en ovärderlig skatt. Conan bryter sig in i handelsmannens hus, finner skålen tom och Kallian död. Stadsvakten dyker upp och Aztrias anklagar honom för att ha mördat Kallian. Den verkliga mördaren fanns dock i skålen: en reptilman, en jätteorm med människohuvud. Conan dödar reptilmannen och räddar Demetrio. I en syn ser han därefter den stygiske trollkarlen Thoth-Amon.
