The Savage Sword of Conan #173

In "A Tomb for the Living," Conan finds himself trapped in a besieged city, his mercenary forces outnumbered and starving under the siege of General Kayde’s Turanian army. With the Hyrkanian provinces torn apart by war and foreign mercenaries on all sides, Conan turns to an unlikely ally— a hidden community of lepers beneath the city walls— to turn the tide. Written by John Arcudi and illustrated by Ernie Chan, with lettering by Diana Albers, this issue blends grim desperation with cunning survival, all under Nick Jainschigg’s striking cover.
