“Birth on the Battlefield”

Marvel's Conan the Barbarian #232 (May 1990) heralds a fresh chapter for the Cimmerian, with the cover boldly proclaiming "The Rebirth of a Legend!" and "The Saga Begins!" Cover pencils by Michael Higgins and inks by Jim Lee deliver a commanding image of Conan in horned helmet and fur-trimmed boots, wielding a massive battle-axe in one hand and a shield and sword in the other, braced against a swirling, icy backdrop. It's a confident, energetic relaunch portrait that makes a strong case for picking up "Birth on the Battlefield" right from the spinner rack.
