Conan the Barbarian #257

Conan looks every inch the unstoppable warrior on this June 1992 cover, rendered by penciler Mike Docherty and inker Alfredo Alcala — the muscle-bound Cimmerian grips his sword with fierce determination while physically hurling a robed, claw-handed sorcerer through the air, clouds swirling dramatically around them both. The bold tagline "The Swordsman and the Sorcerer!" sets the stage for brute steel against arcane power in the story "Night Wings Over Nemedia," with Roy Thomas at the helm alongside artist Mike Docherty and inker Alfredo Alcala on interiors. A small Spider-Man 30th Anniversary corner box adds a fun 1992 Marvel milestone touch to this action-packed chapter in Conan's long-running series.
