Conan the Savage #5

Dan Brereton's cover for this December 1995 Marvel magazine captures Conan in a tense, stone-walled setting — clad in scaled armor and a dark cape, twin blades at the ready, his expression all brooding wariness. Looming behind him is a grinning skeletal figure, adding an unmistakable air of supernatural menace to the scene. With Ian Edginton and Enrique Alcatena kicking off "The Fallen Idol" inside, this is a satisfying package for any fan of sword-and-sorcery adventure.
