☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #118–126 of the original Marvel Comics series, featuring the further adventures of Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian. The title story, 'The Beast King of Abombi,' sees Conan confronting a monstrous ruler in a savage land, alongside other tales of sword-and-sorcery action. This Dark Horse edition reprints the classic 1970s and 1980s stories with their original coloring and artwork by artists like John Buscema and Ernie Chan.
In "Savage Doings in Shem!", Conan faces a deadly reckoning when Belit’s greed claims her and her crew, only for her to return from the dead with a vengeance. As the ship Tigress burns, Conan honors her with a funeral pyre set adrift on the sea. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with John Buscema’s dynamic art and Ernie Chan’s sharp inks, this issue blends mythic tragedy with the brutal beauty of the Hyborian Age. The cover by John Buscema and Ernie Chan captures the moment’s haunting intensity.
In "Of Rage and Revenge!", Conan, Zula, and Belit ride the tide of vengeance after a brutal betrayal, their paths entwined with the fierce M'Gora and the cunning Ptor-Nubis. With the ashes of their past behind them, the trio sets sail once more—bound not by crown or conquest, but by the unbreakable bond forged in fire.
In "The Beast-King of Abombi!", Conan and Belit face a monstrous ruler in a jungle realm where treachery and terror reign. With Zula gone and allies scattered, the pair must confront the Beast King—only for Belit to be seized and Conan to fall from a cliff, leaving their fate uncertain.
In a tale of ancient tides and treacherous waters, a blue-skinned sea-woman boards the Tigress, her presence unraveling the crew with deadly allure. As shadows rise from the deep and trust turns to terror, Conan finds himself caught between fate and the fierce loyalty of Belit—while N’yaga’s illness deepens in the wake of her haunting presence.
In "Death On the Black Coast!", Conan returns to the cursed shores where Belit once ruled, drawn by a haunting resurrection that defies death itself. As the remnants of her doomed crew and the horrors of the Black Coast rise against him, Conan must face the price of vengeance and the weight of a past he thought buried.
