Four Color #690

Dell's "Movie Classic" line brings the sweeping epic The Conqueror to the comics page in this 1956 ten-cent adaptation. The cover is built from dramatic film stills — a warrior in red headband and layered armor dominates the foreground, flanked by scenes of mounted riders clashing across desert terrain and costumed figures gathered in ornate encampments — all beneath the bold tagline "Genghis Khan! The world trembled at his name!" Interior art by Mel Keefer, inked by Keefer and John Celardo with lettering by Ben Oda, promises the same grand scale inside the pages.
