Conan Maxi #4

This 2003 Norwegian-language collection brings Roy Thomas, Robert Wood, John Buscema, and inker Steve Gan together for "Sjørøverkystens dronning" — "Queen of the Black Coast" — one of Conan's most swashbuckling adventures on the high seas. The maxi-format presentation gives Buscema's dynamic artwork plenty of room to breathe, and the cover art by Keel sets the tone for the piracy and adventure within. At 99 NOK, this Bladkompaniet/Schibsted edition is a handsome way to experience this sword-and-sorcery seafaring saga in Norwegian.
