Back in May, Bleeding Cool told you that Roy Thomas and Alan Davis would be telling a Savage Sword Of Conan story that worked as a prequel to the classic Conan tale People Of The Black Circle by Robert E Howard.

One of the original Conan novellas first serialised in 1934 issues, it saw Conan kidnapping a princess while foiling a nefarious plot of world conquest by the Black Seers of Yimsha. It is set in mythical Hyborian versions of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan – Vendhya and Afghulistan. The story was originally adapted for comics by Roy Thomas, John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala in the seventies.

And now we get a look at what happened before…
