“Drums and Death out of Tombalku (Conan in the City of Magicians, part 3)”

In "Drums and Death out of Tombalku," Conan ventures into the forbidden City of Magicians, pursued by demonic forces and haunted by an Oasis of Forgetfulness that threatens to erase his past. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by John Buscema and Ernie Chan, this gripping chapter of the Conan saga pushes the Cimmerian to his limits in a world where magic is as deadly as steel. The cover, by Alan Rabinowitz, captures the tale’s eerie, otherworldly dread.
