“The Ape-Bat of Marmet Tarn”

In "The Ape-Bat of Marmet Tarn," Conan tracks a monstrous creature through the misty highlands, encountering the mysterious widow Lia and her brother-in-law Zvevo—whose secret transformation into the beast is tied to a stolen book of forbidden magic. Written by Michael Fleisher and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Rudy Nebres, this tale blends eerie mystery and visceral action, culminating in a shocking twist that sets Conan on a collision course with a vengeful demon. The cover, a striking portrait by Joe Jusko, captures the story’s dark, primal intensity.
