As he survives the ordeal, he claims a powerful new cloak and mail-shirt, and meets Tara of Hanumar for the first time. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Tom Palmer, and colors by Phil Rachelson, this 1975 Marvel classic captures the raw intensity of the Cimmerian’s journey. The cover, a striking collaboration between John Buscema and John Romita, perfectly frames the clash of man and beast.
