Synopsis: Marvel released its third Conan title in March
1980 as it added King Conan to a roster that already included the Conan The Barbarian
comic and The Savage Sword of Conan magazine. The new title chronicled the
later of adventures of Conan after taking the throne and was renamed Conan the
King starting with issue #20. In this fantasy-filled
first issue, Conan faces the Hyperborean witch Louhi and Thoth-Amon. The witch lures Conan’s son Conn into a trap
and brings the prince back to her Citadel of Pohiola where she imprisons him. She makes a human sacrifice to summon
Thoth-Amon and is surprised to learn that the ancient and powerful sorcerer is
actually afraid of Conan. Louhi ignores
Thoth-Amon’s advice to kill Conan immediately when he follows her witch men’s
trail to the citadel, reuniting him with his son and giving the two the
opportunity to fight their way to freedom.
