The Chronicles of Conan #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fourth volume of Dark Horse's The Chronicles of Conan series collects issues #16–19 of the original Marvel Comics series, featuring classic tales from the early 1970s. The collection includes the title story 'The Song of Red Sonja,' which marks the first meeting between Conan and the fiery warrior woman, alongside other adventures written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by artists like John Buscema and Ernie Chan. These stories capture the raw, epic fantasy of Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age in the signature Marvel style of the era.
In "The Shadow of the Vulture!", Conan and Red Sonja clash in a fiery bar brawl before plunging into a whirlwind of temple intrigue, scaling ancient walls and stealing a cursed snake-tiara—only to face a serpent of sorcery. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with masterful art by Barry Windsor-Smith, this issue blends raw action with mythic atmosphere, culminating in a clever twist as Sonja vanishes into the desert, leaving Conan behind. The cover by Barry Windsor-Smith captures the moment with striking, dynamic detail.
