"The Thing in the Crypt!" A tale of young Conan, which takes place between the events recorded in issues #2-3
After being captured by a group of Hyperboreans, and chained for slavery, Conan eventually breaks his bonds, and escapes in a downpour, after killing his overseer.
Now travelling through the frozen winter wastes of Brythunia, Conan is hounded by a pack of wild wolves, wanting to tear him apart. Conan fends off the wolves as best he can, crossing a frozen lake, and eventually seeking shelter in a dark cave. He soon finds he is in a crypt, and must defend himself once more.
