Hero versus snake

Fire can be a menace
Home of Dark Lore

Margaret Brundage illustrates one of Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories on the August 1934 cover of Weird Tales. In the interior. H.R. Hammond provides an undead woman (as I read it) for Hugh B. Cave’s story “The Isle of Dark Magic.”

“Before him the statue was in motion and the blue flame in the dish became a wavering, living tongue of fire.”

This issue of Weird Tales is available to read and download at the Internet Archive.

  1. That guy looks too scared to be Conan.
    When Conan got scared, he got ANGRY.
    And then whatever scared him got killed.
