Wednesday Worlds of Wonder / CoronaVirus Comics CONAN THE BARBARIAN ANNUAL "Bride of the Oculist!" Part 2

Richel, an oculist relates the tale of Narada (his unfaithful wife), Tolkan (her current lover), Conan, and the malady he, Richel, created that binds them all together...
Hard to believe, but this issue was approved by the Comics Code Authority!
Guess they considered Hyborian Era STDs to be "fantasy"...
Scripted by Christopher Priest (as "James C Owlsey"), and illustrated by Ernie Chan/Chua (with an assist on layouts by John Buscema), this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Conan the Barbarian Annual #11 (1987) is easily the most "adult" Conan color comic adventure ever!
Note: Marvel didn't introduce their ratings labels (All Ages/Mature/etc) until 2001.
Payback's a bitch as you'll see when this story concludes...
