Conan the Barbarian #38 (1974) | The Warrior and the Were-Woman | 60

Wine, promotions, dancing girls — and then everything goes completely sideways.

In today's episode of Hither Came Conan we tackle Conan the Barbarian #38, a tale that begins like a victory lap and ends in betrayal, monsters, and horse theft.

Steeven breaks down a story stuffed with pulp insanity: a suicidal spy, a soul-snorting priest, an invisible snake attack (yes, really), and a were-woman who refuses to stay bound by sorcery or good sense. Conan swings between mercy and murder, learns why bargains matter, and ultimately decides that Turanian politics are far more dangerous than any demon.

It’s a wild, occasionally bonkers chapter in Conan’s saga — and a blast to dissect.

This episode crackles with John Buscema’s bruising art, Roy Thomas’s pulpy inventions, and Steeven’s own savage, hilarious commentary — equal parts scholarly love and barbarian glee.

So grab your sword, your sense of wonder, and maybe a bandage, because this is a blood-spattered, laugh-out-loud deep-dive into curses, city politics, and why you should never trust a dancing girl with a dagger.

Conan the Barbarian #38: The Warrior and the Were-Woman was published by Marvel Comics in February of 1974.

Enjoy!
