“The Iron Lions of the Kharamun”

In "The Iron Lions of the Kharamun," Conan’s fall from grace begins when the Zuagir war-chiefs, betrayed by his loyalty, turn on him with the help of the lion god’s priestess. Written by Michael Fleisher and illustrated by Gary Kwapisz, with inks by Ernie Chan and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1984 issue sees the Cimmerian stripped of his strength and honor, reduced to a beggar hunted by the Iron Lions—henchmen of the priestess who enforce her curse. Cover by Bill Sienkiewicz captures the grim desperation of Conan’s exile, as he seeks redemption through the unlikely aid of Jepthah Ben Zuun.

Conan falls out of grace with the Zuagir war-chiefs. They conspire and convince the priestess of the lion god to give him the mark of the lion god, which renders him a coward and unable to handle weapons. Conan's second in command, Akhmed Sud, usurps the leadership and banishes Conan. The Cimmerian becomes a beggar, and the Iron Lions, the henchmen of the lion priestess, kill everyone who tries to help him. Eventually, Jepthah Ben Zuun helps Conan break the bonds of his mind, and Conan disposes of the Iron Lions, as well as Akhmed Sud. Then he leaves the Zuagir for good.
