☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #218–#226 of the Dark Horse Conan series, adapting Robert E. Howard's original stories with art by John Buscema and others. The title story, 'The Corridor of Mullah-Kajar,' is a classic sword-and-sorcery adventure featuring Conan navigating a deadly labyrinth, alongside other tales of intrigue and combat in the Hyborian Age.
In "Crawler in the Mist!", Conan faces a deadly serpent bite and is captured by the slave master Rasto—only to turn the tables and escape. Together, he and Rasto venture into the eerie, forgotten city of Kamalla, where they confront M'najj, a sorcerer from beyond this world, taking the form of a monstrous slug. Written by Len Wein and J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated with dynamic precision by John Buscema and Neal Adams, with colors by George Roussos and lettering by Michael Higgins and Irv Watanabe, this 2008 Dark Horse tale blends primal danger with otherworldly mystery. The cover, penciled by John Buscema and inked by Ernie Chan, captures the story’s haunting atmosphere.
In the scorched ruins of the ghost city Kamalla, Conan stumbles wounded after a snakebite, only to be captured by the cunning Rasto. Bound and desperate, Conan breaks free and joins Rasto in a deadly journey through the mist-choked streets, where they face M'najj—a sorcerer from beyond this world, twisted into the form of a monstrous slug.
In "The Corridor of -- Mullah-Kajar," Conan ventures into a treacherous temple to rescue a Turanian ambassador and his wife, only to be ensnared by the sorcerer Mullah-Kajar’s cunning traps. As shadows twist and illusions blur truth, Conan must confront a spectral Red Sonja and unravel the deadly deception before the temple consumes him.
In "Valley of Forever Night," Conan and a young woman named Jenna flee across a desolate mountain pass, pursued by a deadly swordsman. When Jenna reveals her body is ravaged by a mysterious, spreading disease, Conan takes her to a cursed castle hidden in the high peaks—where they must confront an alien entity named Myya L'rrasleff to survive.
In "The Hand of Erlik," Conan crosses paths with Vonndhar, a mortal warrior cursed with eternal life by the god Erlik, who has arrived to determine the fate of Jenna. As shadows lengthen and ancient powers stir, the line between judgment and vengeance blurs, and one life hangs in the balance.
In "The Price of Perfection," Conan—known to himself now as Kalna-Fakir—awakens with no memory, ensnared by Princess Prem in a web of deception and ancient ritual. As he is drawn into a deadly game orchestrated by Prem and her allies, including General Imbalayo and the enigmatic Thugra Khotan, the truth of his identity begins to unravel. When Prem attempts to sacrifice Atreah to the Goddess of Mreead-zza, Conan’s buried past erupts, leading to a confrontation that shatters the temple and the divine order it upheld.
