“Empire of the Undead”

Cover art by Gary Hartle and Mike DeCarlo sets a vivid, menacing scene: Conan lunges sword-first into a towering, fanged creature identified by the cover text as Varnae, Lord of the Vampires, while a red-haired Red Sonja lies vulnerable in the monster's grasp below. The promise of two Hyborian heavyweights squaring off against a vampire lord makes this June 1991 issue of Conan the Barbarian a genuinely compelling chapter in Roy Thomas's run on the series.
