“Fangs & Foolish Thieves – Part 02”
In a lavish inn near the Kyros market district, Conan and Bêlit strike a pact with one of the cutthroats who invaded their room. Tarnasha, who had knowledge of two ancient artifacts coveted by Stygian priests in the Black Circle, had intrigued Bêlit. If the holy relics had made their way into the Port of Prosperity, it would be worth a king’s ransom to anyone willing to pay the price. But could this woman be trusted?
Not according to Conan. The Queen of the Black Coast thought otherwise. Tarnasha had made the pact of thieves. Wasn’t that enough?
Over the next day, the three conspirators laid plans to steal the Fangs of the Serpent from a local antiquarian. Whatever the items were, Stygian priests had arrived in Kyros with a small fortune to procure them. It would be up to Conan to handle the Guards, while Bêlit and Tarnasha cause a distraction. Or, will it be the other way around? Collect the series to find out!
Reviewer Notes
Titan Comics has been doing an excellent job connecting the original stories together with new content. Now an artifact from the original Conan the Barbarian movie starring Arnold Swartzenegger has made an appearance. How cool is that?! The only question is, is it canon? I’m not completely sure, but King Osric’s daughter would be proud of the artwork. I give this issue five out of five stars!
