Written by Christopher Priest & Val Semeiks with Alan Zelenetz

Covers by Arthur Adams & Geof Isherwood

In the late '80s, artist Val Semeiks took the reins on Conan the Barbarian injecting a powerful new energy into the series.

As the Devourer reveals his final gambit, drawing upon the power of the Elder Gods, Conan must seek aid from one whose name even he dreads: Thulsa Doom!
