Conan #9

Bearing down on a pack of snarling, fallen beast-men beneath a full moon, a snarling, heavily armored Conan dominates this April 1996 Marvel cover with raw, barely contained intensity — Joe Bennett's pencils and Randy Emberlin's inks giving every muscle and fang a visceral edge. The barbarian, clad in blue armor and wielding a curved blade, looks every bit the unstoppable force as his enemies crumple at his feet in a shadowy jungle setting. "God Fall" promises the kind of brutal, mythic confrontation that makes this era of Conan storytelling genuinely satisfying.
