Savage Sword of Conan, The #7

HITHER CAME CONAN... THE GAMBLER?! A chance violent encounter in Shadizar lands young CONAN a position as a bodyguard for a wealthy merchant. But a twist of fate will put Conan in the hot seat - and no choice but to play the hand he's dealt in a deadly game of SERPENT'S BLUFF! Conan will rely on his sword - and his wits - while navigating the seedy underworld of "civilized" gambling while making sure he stays clear of the deadly "Debtors Lounge"!  Magic, mystery and action abound when writer Jim Zub ( CHAMPIONS , AVENGERS: NO ROAD HOME ) joins forces with artist Patrick Zircher ( HULK ; TERROR, INC. ) for the first of a three-part epic—CONAN THE GAMBLER! PLUS: The next chapter in the all-new CONAN novella "THE SHADOW OF VENGEANCE"!
