“Revenge on the Black River”

Michael Wm. Kaluta's cover for this September 1985 issue plunges readers straight into a desperate, claustrophobic struggle — Conan locked in brutal close-quarters combat with a grotesque, fang-filled creature amid a churning tangle of serpents, skeletal remains, and grasping claws. The composition is wonderfully disorienting, filling every inch of the image with writhing chaos that suggests a watery, creature-infested nightmare straight out of "Revenge on the Black River." Don Kraar, Mike Docherty, and Geof Isherwood bring the Hyborian Age's savage edge to this installment of Marvel's long-running series devoted to Conan on the throne.
