SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #17

A Conan showcase with three separate tales. Christy Marx returns, joined by artist Geof Isherwood, for a sequel to the classic "Child of Cimmeria". Frank Tieri and Adam Gorham deliver a siege story of hungry crocodiles and lost jewels. A third, quietly sinister tale rounds out the issue. This is the old magazine format, where short stories have more room for tone and atmosphere than an ongoing series allows.
