☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #253–#258 of Dark Horse's Conan series, adapting Robert E. Howard's classic tales with a focus on the epic 'The Mountain Where Crom Dwells.' The stories delve into Conan's later years as a king, facing supernatural threats and political intrigue, with artwork by Tomás Giorello and José Villarrubia. It's a fitting entry in the comprehensive Chronicles of Conan line, showcasing the barbarian's enduring legacy in comics.
In "The Mountain Where Crom Dwells," Conan's journey through Cimmeria takes a perilous turn as he leads Hobb to the ruins of Venarium, only to stumble upon Loria and Ricardus of Aquilonia fleeing with a stolen treasure. The duo's desperate flight draws the attention of a fanatical priest devoted to the four-armed death goddess Khalaari, setting the stage for a clash of gods, greed, and survival. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by E. R. Cruz, with vibrant colors by Nelson Yomtov and sharp lettering by John Costanza, this issue blends myth and menace in a tale as ancient as the mountains themselves. The cover, by Mike Docherty and Ricardo Villagrán, captures the grim grandeur of the setting with striking detail.
Conan journeys to the wilds of Cimmeria, where he reunites with surviving kin and encounters the last of the Aesir, forging uneasy alliances in a land steeped in ancient blood and forgotten gods. High on the mountain where Crom dwells, Kulan Gath confronts Vammatar in a clash of empires and sorcery, while Hobb stumbles into a hidden cave filled with the iron-bound tomes of Shuma-Gorath—books that whisper secrets best left buried.
In the wilds of Cimmeria, Conan leads Hobb to the ruins of Venarium, where ancient echoes linger. There, they stumble upon Loria and Ricardus of Aquilonia, fleeing with a stolen treasure sought by the fanatical priest Brah Raam and his dark patron, the four-armed death goddess Khalaari.
