In "The Curse of the Cat-Goddess," Kull returns to Atlantis after years away to find the kingdom transformed—his old companions now in power, but a shadowy figure named Sarna wields unseen influence. As tensions rise and a dragon is unleashed during a grand parade, Kull must rely on the enigmatic Kareesha to survive, even as old rivalries and new betrayals stir beneath the surface. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Sonny Trinidad, with a striking cover by Boris Vallejo, this 1975 issue blends myth and menace in the legendary sword-and-sorcery world of Conan.

Kull finds Atlantis greatly changed on his return after many years. Former hunting companions Om-Ra and Khor-Nah are the king and captain of the Atlantean army, respectively. But the mysterious Sarna seemed to have true power in Atlantis. Sarna's assistant, Kareesha, is a beautiful young woman who claims she is not the witch-woman Kull has encountered before. Ridondo causes more trouble when he charms Khor-Nah's woman, Lee-Sah. Sarna sends a dragon to kill Kull during a parade, but Kull defeats it with the help of Kareesha.
