The Savage Sword of Conan 1974 #9 - back issue - $8.00

Conan returns to his desert Zuagirs to find they have raided a religious caravan. A cat-like idol brainwashes first Conan and then Fazal into doing its bidding, until Conan regains his senses and disposes of it.

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.
