Conan the Barbarian #25 (Marvel: 1973) | The Mirrors of Kharam-Akkad | 47
Prepare yourself for a no-holds-barred deep dive into the January 1973 Marvel Comics masterpiece, Conan the Barbarian #25: The Mirrors of Kharam-Akkad! This issue marks a turning point in Conan lore, as the legendary John Buscema takes up the pencil for the first time, kicking off a breathtaking 14-year artistic reign.
Steeven guides you through the swirling chaos of Hyborian politics, ancient wizardry, and visceral combat as Conan faces the mad High Priest Kharam-Akkad and a demon from a mystical mirror. Along the way, we uncover the chilling origins of these haunted mirrors, which stretch back to King Kull himself in the fabled House of a Thousand Mirrors. It’s a saga of betrayal, prophecy, and blood-soaked vengeance that explodes from every panel!
Plus, we celebrate the unsung hero of this issue, Captain Chumbala Bey, and dissect every jaw-dropping moment, from Conan’s adrenaline-fueled plank-smashing escape to the unforgettable finale where the barbarian defies destiny with a sword stroke.
Whether you’re a seasoned Conan fanatic or a Hyborian novice, this episode of Hither Came Conan promises thrills, chills, and a hearty dose of barbarian badassery. Don't miss it—this one’s for the ages!
Conan the Barbarian #25: The Mirrors of Kharam-Akkad by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, John Severin, Marie Severin, and Artie Simek was published by Marvel Comics in January, 1973.
Enjoy!
