Written by Timothy Truman, penciled by Tomas Giorello and Richard Corben, colore by José Villarrubia, cover by Frank Cho.
Dark Horse's exciting new Conan era continues with a second round of adventure! As Conan recovers from last issue's clash with raiders on the Cimmerian borderlands, a kind stranger shelters him and weaves a tale of Conan's grandfather, Connacht. As an older Cimmerian, Connacht inspired young Conan with tales of dazzling lands and beautiful women, but the story the snowbound stranger relates now is one of a brush with death and supernatural beasts--brought on after an act of selfless kindness. Is it true that "no good deed goes unpunished" . . . ?
