“Dawn and Death-Gods”

The concluding chapter of "The Sorcerer and the She-Devil" arrives with a cover by Whilce Portacio that pulls no punches — a snarling, vine-entangled Conan wrestles with a grotesque, green-tentacled creature while Red Sonja and a robed sorcerer look on from the right. The tagline "For the Life of Red Sonja" and the promise of a "Showdown at Castle Zukala" set the stakes perfectly for this three-part finale. Roy Thomas scripts with Gary Hartle on interior art, rounding out a 1991 Marvel adventure that pits the Cimmerian against sorcery at its most visceral.
