Collection The Savage Sword of Conan #25

The cover of this Italian-edition collection says it all: Conan, dagger raised high, faces off against a massive, roaring green creature in a raw display of muscle and defiance against a stark, rocky landscape. It's a striking oil-painted image that captures the brooding, pulpy atmosphere Robert E. Howard's barbarian world does so well. With work from Michael Fleisher, John Buscema, Ernie Chan, Val Mayerik, Alan Zelenetz, and Mary Wilshire, this volume from Hachette's Savage Sword of Conan Collection — featuring the story "Il Palazzo del Piacere!" — brings together a genuinely talented crew for what looks to be an atmospheric Hyborian adventure.
