Conan the Barbarian #141

Issue #141 of Marvel's long-running sword-and-sorcery series finds Conan front and center, blade in hand, surrounded by a group of companions — including a terrified woman and a robed swordsman — as an eerie swarm of large golden spider-like creatures closes in from all sides against a stark crimson background. The cover, penciled and inked by John Buscema, crackles with urgent tension, every figure caught mid-scramble as the creatures loom from the foliage. With Bruce Jones writing and a story titled "The Web Tightens," this December 1982 issue promises a harrowing, creepy-crawly chapter in the Cimmerian's adventures.
