Conan the Barbarian #16
In "The Frost Giant's Daughter," Conan races across a frozen battlefield, chasing Atali through the snow after slaying her two frost giant brothers. Just as he captures her, her father, the mighty Ymir, intervenes and takes her from him. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with striking detail by Barry Smith, with colors by Barry Windsor-Smith, this issue features a cover by Barry Windsor-Smith that captures the icy clash of man and giant.
Conan the Barbarian #16 (1972) delivers a frostbitten clash of steel and sorcery as the Cimmerian pursues the elusive Atali across a frozen battlefield. After felling her two giant brothers, Conan captures her—only for the mighty frost giant Ymir to reclaim his daughter in a moment of thunderous revelation.
In "The Sword and the Sorcerers!", novelist Len Carson tries to end his beloved sword and sorcery series by killing off his fictional hero, Starr the Slayer—but when Starr steps out of the pages and into the real world, he has no choice but to defend himself when Len tries to erase him for good.
