Prepare your swords and steel your nerves—this episode of Hither Came Conan dives headlong into the chaos and carnage of Conan the Barbarian #10: Beware the Wrath of Anu!

Steeven takes you to an unnamed Corinthian city-state where Conan’s attempts to blend in are shattered by rooftop chases, treacherous thieves, and a priest of Anu with a dark secret. Witness the mighty Cimmerian as he battles corrupt city guards, tangles with an ancient red bull god summoned from the heavens, and confronts the ultimate betrayal of his only true friend.

But the stakes don’t end with divine wrath—this issue masterfully sets the stage for the legendary Rogues in the House tale. From Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning art to Roy Thomas’s intricate storytelling, this issue combines brutal battles, supernatural horror, and heart-wrenching loss in one unforgettable adventure.

Don’t miss Steeven’s breakdown of this monumental moment in Conan’s comic legacy. It’s a story of gods, vengeance, and the unyielding spirit of the barbarian hero. By Crom, this is one you don’t want to skip!

Conan the Barbarian #10: Beware the Wrath of Anu written by Roy Thomas with pencils by Barry Windsor Smith, inks by Sal Buscema, and letters were by Sam Rosen.

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