Conan the King #50

Marvel pulls out all the stops for this 1989 special anniversary milestone, as Conan the King reaches its landmark 50th issue with a cover by Mike Kaluta that frames the Cimmerian barbarian-king — sword raised triumphantly overhead — alongside a group of warriors and companions gathered within an ornate golden medallion border. The ensemble portrait has a genuine sense of occasion, presenting Conan and his allies as a tight-knit cast with history behind them. With James Owsley, Alan Zelenetz, and Geof Isherwood among the contributors on "Night Winds," this anniversary celebration brings considerable creative firepower to the Hyborian Age.
