In the works of author Robert E. Howard, Crom is the chief and most powerful god of the Cimmerians, including his most famous creation, Conan the Barbarian. Unlike other deities in the Hyborian Age, Crom is not worshipped with temples or sacrifices and rarely intervenes in human affairs. He is a grim, aloof, and brutal deity who embodies the Cimmerian virtues of strength and self-reliance.

My Rating “Thrice Marked For Death! – Part 03 Haunted” The artifact was successfully taken from the temple of Bel, in the night, the thieves did wrestle through the mounting corpses.

My Rating “The Coils Tighten” The returning sensation that is The Savage Sword Of Conan has reached the ten issue mark. Jim Zub is here with an elevator-pitch update on things to come. If you haven’t guessed already, it deals with the lands of Stygia. I’m very pleased to find the sword in all of
My Rating “Conan & Valeria: The Sunless Isle” Conan and Valeria had pillaged the Western Sea in a time preceding the fall of Bêlit, Queen of the Black Coast.

My Rating “Treasure Of The Vermin Queen” When Fleek spoke of treasure, this was not what Conan had envisioned. In the absence of gold coins, ruby chalices, and all the gilded absoluteness sold to children as a matter of fact, what lay before the Cimmerian made his blood boil. The underground temple held no ver-men
My Rating “Mark Of The Beast” Raja, the bowman from Vezek, lay near the campfire, inhaling heavily. The pain from the toxic wound struck deeper into his chest with every breath.
