Savage Sword of Conan #9 - Full Script (Patreon)

Part 3 of Conan the Gambler, the grand finale!

As I mentioned when I posted up the first script, I genuinely thought this story would be my last chance to be a bard for the Barbarian, so I pushed hard to make it feel like a punchy and pulpy tale in the tradition of Robert E. Howard. Thankfully, Patch Zircher did a great job on the artwork, and Fred and Jay at Conan Properties (now called Heroic Signatures) thought it really hit the mark, so they encouraged editor Mark Basso to ask me if I'd be interested in writing a crossover tale with multiple characters from Robert E. Howard's stories...

Attached here is the full script for part 3 along with my original pitch document, the quick pacing notes I put together for myself to remind me of the overall structure for each issue, and the rules for the Serpent's Bluff card game put together by Conan Properties based on my story.
