Descrizione
CONAN e KA – ZAR
ALBO ORIGINALE DEL 1976
Si prolunga ulteriormente la latitanza del renitente KA-ZAR, cercato invano in Barbagia, Aspromonte e Libano, nel frattempo lo rimpiazza per l’ ultima volta l’ interinale RE KULL di Valusia, lo spodestato condottiero barbaro di Atlantide sempre a ramengo (nonchè precursore ancestrale di Conan e scaracchiato pure lui dalla magica e tisica penna di Robert E. Howard), cui però con questo numero scade il mandato che al momento non gli verrà più rinnovato, quindi a lui tocca davvero fare armi e bagagli sul serio, mica come a Napolitano, infatti in America non scherzano e se dicono una cosa è quella, e il rudimentale e burbero eroe viene messo in naftalina così calma un pò i bollenti spiriti e fa decantare i cattivi odori (la pubblicazione delle sue storie riprese negli Usa dopo oltre un anno, ma qui da noi non è mai più proseguita, forse aspettano appunto quando non ci sarà più Napolitano)
contiene inoltre : è lui o non è lui ? ma cerrrto che è LUI il colosso vivente
CONDIZIONI : BUONISSIME, QUALCHE PUNTO DI LIEVE USURA IN COSTOLA, L’ ALBO NON E’ DI BUSTA

Synopsis
The Crimson Company approaches Ronnoco and, since they are early for
their appointment, are mistakenly attacked. After a brief skirmish, the
fight is ended by Vanni, son of the ruler of Ronnoco, who shrugs off
Conan’s angry words. The Ronnoco soldiers are expecting an attack from
nearby Carnolla, and have the Crimson Company have been brought in to
assist. Murilo, Conan and Tara meet with Belzamo, the ruler of Ronnoco,
who explains that he intends to ally with a third city-state, Pergona,
against Carnolla, and the best way to do that would be to force an
alliance by kidnapping the daughter of the lord of Pergonna, Yvonne, who
is being transported by the Blade Brothers to her arranged wedding in
Carnolla. A disguised Conan and Tara meet with the Blade Brothers, but a
fight soon breaks out and the Blade Brothers are all killed. The
Crimson Company take Yvonne into their custody. Meanwhile, a contingent
sent back to claim the Ring of the Black Shadow is decimated by the
growing shadow creature, although one member of the group, Yusef manages
to escape to tell the tale…
