Conan Saga #87

Earl Norem's painted cover for this June 1994 Marvel anthology captures a pulse-quickening naval battle: a muscular, horned-helmeted Conan brandishes a sword at the prow of a ship adorned with a fearsome dragon figurehead, while a fierce, silver-armored warrior woman stands her ground at his side as a storm of arrows fills the air around them. Armed soldiers press in from the surrounding vessels, making the deck feel gloriously chaotic and dangerous. Inside, Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and Ernie Chan deliver "The City in the Storm!" alongside a bonus Kull the Destroyer feature — a fine double helping of sword-and-sorcery adventure.
