Conan the Barbarian #19

Oct 1972 · Marvel · 0.20 USD
“Hawks from the Sea!”

In "Hawks from the Sea!", Conan the Barbarian finds himself deep in enemy territory, leading a Turanian siege on the city of Makkalet. As whispers of the legendary Living Tarim spread through the ranks, Conan crosses paths with the treacherous Balthaz—setting the stage for a clash of cunning and steel. With Fafnir struck by a flaming arrow, the tide of battle turns as shadows grow long and ancient secrets stir. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Barry Smith—both inks and colors—this issue showcases the full range of Smith’s distinctive style, from the grim tension of the siege to the eerie mystique of the Tarim legend. The cover, also by Smith, captures the moment with a striking, dramatic composition.
