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

We Have Already Seen...

...it's the story of a lovely lady who cheated on her husband (who had developed a lethal pathogen).

One of her many lovers (and the only one who truly loved her) tried to find her...and did so, finding her slain by her husband's disease (which he's also contracted)!

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.

Guess they considered Hyborian Era STDs to be "fantasy"...

Conan meets Covid...

...sort of!

Well, he does deal with disease, eventually...

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) does deal with disease, as shown by the disfigured Habar shown above.

But most of that material is later in the tale...which you'll see...
