    Conan stars in "Night of the Dark God" (script by Roy Thomas, pencils by Gil Kane and Neal Adams, inks by Adams, Pablo Marcos, Frank McLaughlin, and Vince Colletta). Adapted from the non-Conan story "The Dark Man" by Robert E. Howard. Reprints: "The Crusader" (script by Stan lee, art by Joe Maneely; from The Black Knight 2 in July 1955) and "The Dweller in the Dark" (script by Thomas, art by Barry Windsor-Smith; from Conan the Barbarian 12). This last story was originally intended for Savage Tales 2 before the magazine's (first) cancellation. The art was altered for its appearance in Conan 12 in order to pass the Comics Code. The story here in Savage Tales 4 is the original, unaltered version. (The muddy reprint in Conan Saga 5 is from the altered version.) Neal Adams cover painting. Cover price $0.75.
