THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #5 delivers three entertaining tales of Conan's adventures as he battles witches, sea monsters, and deadly thieves.

I love the format of Savage Sword of Conan. The magazine format is perfect for this type of storytelling. The art in this issue is really good. The story by Aaron is not all that original, it is kind of run of the mill. Seems like this story should have been a Solomon Kane story rather than a Conan one. I will be back for part 2 and beyond, however.
