Conan and the Demons of Khitai #2

Two warriors collide in close-quarters combat on this intense cover — Conan grappling hard against a long-haired, fur-cloaked swordsman whose blade crosses his own in a deadlock of raw muscle and steel. Pat Lee's detailed pencils and inks give both figures a coiled, kinetic energy that makes the struggle feel genuinely dangerous, drawing readers straight into the exotic eastern setting of Khitai. With Akira Yoshida's script and Paul Lee's interior art, this 2005 Dark Horse series brings a fresh perspective to the Cimmerian's wilder adventures beyond his familiar stomping grounds.
