Conan Classic #1

The Coming of Conan" launches Conan Classic #1 with a cover by Barry Windsor-Smith and John Verpoorten that pulses with Hyborian energy — a horned-helmeted Conan surges forward, brandishing both a spear and a blade, surrounded by a press of snarling grey creatures while winged demons circle through a blazing orange sky above. A dark-haired woman in green, fallen to the lower right, looks on in alarm as the battle cry "To the Death!" blazes across the cover. This 1994 Marvel series brings Roy Thomas and Windsor-Smith's celebrated work back into print, making it a welcome chance to experience some of Conan's most vivid early adventures.
