Conan the Savage #6

Conan the Savage #6 charges forward with a cover by Tim and Greg Hildebrandt that puts the Cimmerian front and center — snarling beneath a horned helmet, battle-axe raised high and a spiked shield thrust toward the viewer, dark hair streaming behind him against a stormy sky. The raw physicality of the image makes it one of the more striking covers Marvel published in 1996. Inside, Roy Thomas continues "The Fallen Idol" with art and inks by Geof Isherwood, a reliable creative pairing for fans of sword-and-sorcery done right.
