“The Blood of the Gods [Chapter I]”

Earl Norem's painted cover for this 1978 Marvel magazine-format issue sets the tone perfectly: Conan faces down a massive, grey-bearded giant in fur and a studded belt, sword raised mid-battle amid the gloom of haunted caverns, while a jeweled woman looks on from the rocky ground nearby. The cover promises "an all-new, novel-length tale of treachery and terror" — a fitting pitch for the story within, written by Roy Thomas with interior art from John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala. The Fiend in the Haunted Caverns sounds like exactly the kind of brooding, atmospheric Hyborian adventure that made Savage Sword essential reading in 1978.
