Conan (2004) #48

TIMOTHY TRUMAN (W), TOMÁS GIORELLO (A), RICHARD ISANOVE (C), and CARY NORD (Cover)

Conan finds himself embroiled in a political struggle turned bloody between a naive young prince and a sinister sorcerer who calls upon the god of the underworld to help aid him in building an army of demonic abominations, intent on conquering not just his own kingdom, but all of Hyboria! But that's not the only danger that threatens to destroy Conan's world. Little does he know, a piece of his past still follows him, stalking the Cimmerian with the patience of the grave. All roads lead to the doomed city of Yaralet in this stunning adaptation of Robert E. Howard's lost fragment 'The Hand of Nergal.'
