In "The Stalker Amid the Sands," Conan pushes through the scorching desert toward Zamboula, driven by the trail of Isparana and the stolen Eye of Erlik. After fending off two desert raiders at an oasis, he encounters the Turanian soldier Arsil and his men, who claim to be hunting the same killers—and warn him of a treacherous mountain pass guarded by a sand demon, the brother of the man he seeks. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by John Buscema and inks by Ricardo Villamonte, the cover by Earl Norem captures the grim urgency of the journey.
