“The Scarlet Personage”

Towering over the cover of issue #175 is a massive, dripping crimson skull wreathed in swirling supernatural tendrils — a genuinely unsettling image that sets the tone for "The Scarlet Personage." Beneath it, Conan presses forward sword in hand alongside a red-haired female warrior, both caught in an eerie vortex of otherworldly energy. John Buscema's self-inked cover work here is confident and atmospheric, perfectly capturing the blend of sword-and-sorcery muscle and dark mysticism that made Marvel's 1985 run of this series so compelling.
