There, Conan will earn his honoured name - Amra - in one of the Cimmerian's greatest epics] Master storytellers Roy Thomas and John Buscema follow with a saga that brings Conan, Kull and even Red Sonja together] All the while, the struggle to reclaim Belit's title and lands from the Stygians carries on.
