The lead story, “Conan Dances with Werewolves and WereWomen”, follows Conan as he finds himself caught in a deadly supernatural conflict involving shapeshifters and dark rituals. This black-and-white tale, scripted by Roy Thomas with art by George Pratt, blends horror with traditional sword-and-sorcery. The issue may also include a backup story, editorial features, or pin-up art—typical of the Savage Sword magazine format.
