Conan the Destroyer #1

Opening the first half of Marvel's two-issue limited series, this 1985 issue launches "Conan the Destroyer" with a cover by Bob Camp that commands immediate attention. Against a smoldering red-orange gradient, a massively built Conan stands front and center — long dark hair beneath a studded leather headband, a bone necklace at his chest, and a broad, elaborately hilted sword gripped firmly in both hands — his expression cool and utterly unyielding. With Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, and Michael Fleisher sharing writing duties alongside interior art from John Buscema, this is a confident, well-crafted package for fans of Robert E. Howard's barbarian at his most formidable.
