“Destroyer in the Flame”

Conan the Barbarian #162 drops readers straight into serpentine chaos, with John Buscema's cover showing the Cimmerian warrior mid-roar, sword raised in one hand while writhing snakes coil around his body from every direction — it's a visceral, kinetic image that captures exactly why Buscema's run on this title felt so essential in 1984. The story inside is titled "Destroyer in the Flame," promising the kind of mythic, high-stakes adventure that defines Conan at his best. Writer Michael Fleisher and the Buscema/Roussos art team make this a satisfying package for any fan of Robert E. Howard's savage world brought vividly to life.
