Conan Saga #55

Earl Norem's painted cover for this 1991 Marvel magazine tells you everything you need to know about the mood: a bare-chested Conan strains against a thrown net, sword in hand, while armored soldiers close in from behind and a fierce warrior woman watches from the right — all beneath the looming, ominous presence of some monstrous creature in the shadows. This is Part Three of Four of "Conan the Liberator," reprinting interior art by John Buscema and Tony DeZuniga on Roy Thomas's story "Satyr's Blood." If you've been following this arc, issue #55 keeps the tension wound tight right through to its cliffhanger close.
