Conan the Avenger #25

Part six of "A Witch Shall Be Born" arrives with a cover by Simon Bisley that pulls no punches — a massive, slavering green monster bears down on a bloodied Conan, who refuses to yield even as its jaws loom inches from his face, axe raised and muscles straining against the creature's scaled grip. It's a visceral, up-close composition that captures the brutal physicality Fred Van Lente and Brian Ching have brought to this Robert E. Howard adaptation throughout the run. Dark Horse's Conan line celebrates 30 years on this very issue, and Bisley's painted intensity makes it a striking milestone marker.
