Volume 8: Brothers of the Blade and Other Stories (2005)– collects issues 52–59 (also by Mike Ploog). Volume 2– Vengeance From the Desert and Other Stories Written by Roy Thomas and Doug Moench. Art by John Buscema and Ernie Chan. ( ISBN 978-1595826701) The Slithering Shadow Howard ups the erotic tension in this one with suggestions of depraved orgies and a girl-on-girl whipping scene. He also furthers his theories re: civilization and barbarism by contrasting the effete ineffectualness of a highly sophisticated but decadent civilization with Conan's rough and ready dynamism. This time, Conan runs up against a truly weird enemy, described in terms that HP Lovecraft would have approved of (and surely did). A creepy, almost claustrophobic interlude that doesn't outstay its welcome.
