Conan the Barbarian #187

Issue #187 of Marvel's long-running sword-and-sorcery series arrives in October 1986 with a cover by Ernie Chan that is hard to look away from: a grim, battle-ready Conan crouches sword-in-hand atop a vast field of skulls and bones, standing guard over a red-haired woman who struggles beneath him in a tattered golden garment. The title "Resurrection" hints at dark, otherworldly stakes, and that sea of skeletal remains stretching to every horizon sets an appropriately grim mood. Inside, writer James C. Owsley and the celebrated art team of John Buscema and Ernie Chan bring their considerable talents to bear on the tale.
