Conan the King #37

Conan the King #37 dominates its November 1986 cover with a fierce close-up of the Cimmerian king in his horned battle helmet, his expression radiating barely contained fury — a striking image penciled by Judith Hunt and inked by Art Nichols. Surrounding him in celebration of Marvel's 25th Anniversary are dozens of the publisher's heroes and heroines crowding both borders, from the Hulk and Captain America to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, making this an unusually festive frame for such a fierce barbarian. Inside, Don Kraar writes "The Sack of Belverus" with art by Hunt and Mike Manley, finished by inker Al Williamson — a solid creative team ready to deliver the sword-and-sorcery drama the series does best.
