Conan the Barbarian #103

A striking 1979 entry in Marvel's long-running sword-and-sorcery series, this issue — titled "Bride of the Vampire" — promises dark supernatural menace alongside brutal Hyborian action. John Buscema's cover pencils (inked by Bob McLeod) put the danger front and center: a powerfully built, snarling adversary in magenta robes hoists a shackled, dark-haired woman by her chains while a mob of golden-hued figures closes in from the rocky background. The story title banner "Night of the Vampire!" and the surrounding chaos make it clear that Conan's world is about to get very dangerous indeed.
