A major early-era Conan key, Conan The Barbarian #24 is a historic Red Sonja milestone and a defining Roy Thomas issue—here in CBCS 3.5 and signed by Roy Thomas. This book features the 1st full Red Sonja story and the 1st Red Sonja cover, anchored by “The Song of Red Sonja”. Set in Makkalet, Conan and Sonja tear through a bar-fight, scale temple walls, steal a snake-tiara, and battle a magical serpent, ending with Sonja outsmarting Conan before heading to Pah-Disha. It also marks the last Barry Windsor-Smith issue on this title—an era-ending chapter with collector-noted production history, including interior art alterations made without Windsor-Smith’s approval.
