☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Sword and the Scythe (Conan in the City of Magicians, part 1)," Conan—now a prisoner in the exotic, treacherous city of Kush—must ally with the imprisoned demon Imhotep, Ravager of Worlds, to survive. With the Queen’s lust and deadly magics closing in, the two outcasts forge a dangerous pact: Conan will retrieve a stolen amulet from the sorcerer Hak-Heru, and in return, Imhotep will free Conan’s captured crew. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with bold precision by John Buscema, inks by Ernie Chan, and lettered by Diana Albers, this issue brings the legendary barbarian into a world of arcane peril. The cover, by Earl Norem, captures the clash of sword and scythe in vivid, dramatic detail.
Conan, the Cimmerian, finds himself imprisoned in the city of Kush after a shipwreck, his Barachan crew at the mercy of Queen Zanji’s court. Summoned alongside the cursed Imhotep—once a god of destruction now bound in mortal flesh—Conan must navigate a web of magic, betrayal, and forbidden desires to survive. With Imhotep offering freedom in exchange for retrieving a stolen amulet from the sorcerer Hak-Heru, Conan must choose between loyalty to his men and the deadly allure of ancient power.
