“The Usurper Part One”

Marvel brings Conan back to the stands in 1997 with this opening chapter of "The Usurper," featuring a cover by Steve Lieber and Klaus Janson that puts the muscular Cimmerian front and center, sword raised and expression fierce as he surges forward against a group of golden-helmeted soldiers armed with spears. The dynamic composition — Conan towering over his armored opponents amid a fiery backdrop — immediately signals that Chuck Dixon's story has the Barbarian squarely in the middle of a fight for power. With art from Steve Lieber and inks by Klaus Janson, this first issue sets an ambitious tone for the series.
