Conan the Barbarian #11 (Marvel: 1971) | Rogues in the House | 16

Chains cannot hold him, and betrayal only fuels his rage! In this gripping episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven delves into Conan the Barbarian #11: Rogues in the House—a tale of blood, vengeance, and survival that solidifies Conan as the ultimate rogue among rogues.

Imprisoned after a treacherous betrayal, Conan strikes a bargain with a desperate noble: freedom in exchange for the death of Nabonidus, the cunning and sinister Red Priest. But nothing is as it seems within the labyrinthine halls of Nabonidus’s lair, where death lurks behind every shadow and a brutish ape-man named Thak has seized the throne for his own violent reign.

Steeven takes you through every harrowing moment: the betrayal of allies, the bloody brawls in the maze-like sewers, and the unforgettable battle between Conan and Thak that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Will Conan outwit the traps of the Red Priest and bring justice to the city, or will the machinations of Nabonidus prove too much for even the Cimmerian?

Featuring epic artwork by Barry Windsor-Smith and masterful storytelling from Roy Thomas, this adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s classic tale is a must-listen for any sword-and-sorcery fan. Tune in for one of Conan’s most thrilling and iconic adventures yet!

Conan the Barbarian #11: Rogues in the House was written by Roy Thomas with pencils by Barry Windsor Smith, inks by Sal Buscema, and the letters were by Sam Rosen.

This issue was published by Marvel Comics in August, 1971.
