The Savage Sword of Conan #48

In "A Wind Blows from Stygia," Conan navigates treachery and ancient dread as he manipulates rival pirate captains into confronting a cursed treasure guarded by a demon—only for his plan to unravel. With alliances shifting and the Picts closing in, Conan must survive the fall of Valenso’s fort and confront the lingering wrath of Thoth-Amon, before a rescue by Aquilonian nobles thrusts him into a new, dangerous game of power. Written by Robert E. Howard, Roy Thomas, and L. Sprague de Camp, with dynamic art by John Buscema and Klaus Janson, and a striking cover by Nestor Redondo, this 1980 issue delivers the brutal, mythic tone that defines the series.
