Conan the Barbarian #107 – “Demon of the Night” – Roy Thomas/John Buscema/Ernie Chan

This one starts where last issue left off, with Queen Tananda of Meroe about to whip the slave-girl Diana because she believes Diana is a spy sent by her rival, Tuthmes. Tananda is right, but before she can beat the truth out of Diana, Conan stops her and looses the unfortunate girl. Conan also warns Tananda that allowing a bunch of tribesmen into the city to witness the execution of the supposed traitor Aahmes might cause them to revolt instead of cowing them as Tananda intends.

Conan the Barbarian #105 – “Whispering Shadows” – Roy Thomas/John Buscema/Ernie Chan

This one starts with Conan being denounced by a Bamula witch doctor, blaming him for a plague that’s recently struck the tribe, as well as some recent setbacks against their enemies. The Bamulas aren’t eager to move against their war-chief … until Conan tires of the witch doctor’s imprecations and kills him. That rouses the tribe and he topples the totem of Ajujo onto them before taking off. Continue reading “Conan Reviews: Conan the Barbarian 105, Conan the Barbarian 106”

Conan the Barbarian #103 – “Bride of the Vampire” – Roy Thomas/John Buscema/Ernie Chan

This one continues from last issue, with the unconscious Conan being taken by the Drellik king and his Bamula tribesmen thrown into a dungeon by the other Drelliks. A Drellik is a native word for vampire, but only the king is a true vampire; his followers have adopted his blood-drinking ways, but they die as easily as any other person.

Conan the Barbarian #100 – “Death on the Black Coast” – Roy Thomas/John Buscema/Ernie Chan

This one starts with the Tigress sailing the Black Coast as usual, but Bêlit’s destination is well outside their normal haunts. She takes the ship to the mouth of the Zarkheba River, which they passed once before and reminds Conan that its waters are said to be poisonous, inhabited only by venomous reptiles.
