Conan the Barbarian #66

Marvel's September 1976 entry in Roy Thomas's long-running Hyborian epic pits Conan against a genuinely unsettling opponent — a skull-masked, crimson-armored warrior identified by the cover as Dagon, God of Death, whose blades clash with the Cimmerian's across a field of jagged stone spikes. The two figures surge toward each other with equal ferocity, Conan bare-chested and straining while Dagon looms in ornate, segmented armor, and the tagline — "The Wrath — The Rage — The Revenge of Dagon, God of Death!" — promises that this confrontation carries some serious weight behind it. Cover art by Gil Kane and Dan Adkins brings crisp, kinetic energy to the standoff, making this installment of "Daggers and Death Gods!" a compelling pick for any fan of sword-and-sorcery adventure.
