Conan the Savage #7

This February 1996 Marvel magazine-format issue promises savage thrills, with cover art by Jacques Bredy depicting Conan locked in a fierce struggle against a hulking, armored reptilian creature while a dark-haired sword-wielding woman fights at his side. The tagline "Return of the Iron Maidens" hints at a formidable female presence in the action, and that sword raised defiantly in the foreground sets an appropriately fierce tone. Inside, Chuck Dixon and Gary Kwapisz bring "Howling in the Wilderness" to life — a title that suggests untamed danger perfectly suited to Robert E. Howard's barbarian hero.
