Description

More than the comic or the paperbacks, Savage Sword of Conan was my real initiation to the character.

One of my first issues was Number 4, a rockstar, incredible Boris cover, and the mesmerizing story. Conan was still young at this point and his buccaneer days are some of my favorite stories.

"Iron Shadows in the Moonlight" has a number of the same elements as Pool of the Black One, but for raw dread and terror I think "Iron Shadows" has it hands down.

At this point, Olivia and Conan, having escaped a common enemy escape to a mysterious island. They spend the night sleeping near ancient ruins decorated with dark remarkably lifelike statues. Olivia has a bizarre dream where she witnesses a race of dark-skinned humanoids torturing a young boy. It only gets more bizarre from there!

Of special interest are notes by Roy Thomas at the top

This is like Buscema and Alcala drawing a scene out of the Old Testament!

Agree,...that or a reimagining of the 'New'!
