Conan the Barbarian #254

From the frozen reaches of Hyperborea comes a striking 1992 Marvel cover — Conan, bound in heavy chains and draped in a blue cloak, charges forward with raw determination while looming shadowy figures lurk menacingly in the rocky background. The bold tagline "Hyperborean Horror!" sets the tone perfectly for Roy Thomas's story "Havoc In Hyperborea," brought to life by the pencil-and-ink team of Mike Docherty and Ernie Chan. It's a fittingly atmospheric entry in Marvel's long-running Conan series, landing in the same year Marvel celebrated its 30th anniversary of The Incredible Hulk.
