“Stand”

A red-haired warrior woman lunges forward with daggers raised while Conan looms behind her, sword drawn and ready for battle — Geof Isherwood's dynamic cover crackles with fierce, back-to-back energy. This August 1987 Marvel issue, titled "Stand," promises exactly what the cover delivers: two fierce fighters braced against what must be overwhelming odds. With interior art by Val Semeiks and writing by James C. Owsley, it's a compelling chapter in the long-running saga of Robert E. Howard's legendary Cimmerian.
