“The Slithering Shadow [Part I]”

Earl Norem's painted cover for this 1977 issue delivers an immediate gut-punch: a massive, fang-filled reptilian creature dominates the frame, its clawed limbs clutching a struggling Conan while a chained captive hangs helplessly in the background. The sheer scale of the beast against the barbarian makes this one of the more viscerally striking covers in the magazine's run. Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and Alfredo Alcala bring "The Slithering Shadow" to life inside — a complete tale in a single issue.
