Conan the Adventurer #13

The cover of Conan the Adventurer #13 (1995) is a raw, kinetic piece by Rafael Kayanan, depicting a horned-helmeted Conan at the center of a ferocious melee — blades clashing, bodies pressing in from every direction as he battles alongside a blue-clad warrior against a tide of savage foes. With Roy Thomas scripting "Into the Citadel of Sin," the title alone promises the kind of swords-and-sorcery tension that made this era of Conan storytelling so compelling. For fans of brutal Hyborian action, this issue wears its intentions right on the cover.
