Conan: Scarlet Sword #3

The concluding chapter of Marvel's "Scarlet Sword" trilogy arrives with a cover by Stefano Raffaele and Ralph Cabrera that puts Conan at the center of a desperate, multi-front struggle — muscles straining as he wields the glowing red scarlet sword against a massive, horned dark warrior looming behind him, while a fallen red-haired woman lies at his feet and other combatants press in from the sides. Roy Thomas brings his long-standing command of Hyborian Age storytelling to "Blood and Steel!", promising the kind of sword-and-sorcery intensity that earned him a devoted following. If you've been following this three-part saga, this 1999 finale delivers exactly the high-stakes imagery you'd hope to see closing it out.
