Conan Saga #71

The deck of a storm-tossed ship becomes a battlefield on Earl Norem's muscular cover for this February 1993 issue, where a bare-chested Conan charges forward with a curved blade raised high, fighting alongside a red-scarfed warrior while a fierce woman in gold and a grizzled sailor back them up against the churning sea. Promising a full fifty pages of "sword-swinging savagery," this Conan Saga entry collects "Revenge of the Barbarian" with interior work by the formidable team of Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Alfredo Alcala, and Joe Rosen. It's Hyborean high adventure on the high seas — and Norem's painted cover captures every ounce of that wild, wind-whipped energy.
