King Conan #10

Marvel's "Mightiest Monarch of a Time-Lost Land" faces something truly primordial in King Conan #10 — the cover by Ernie Chan plunges the muscular Cimmerian king into a desperate, close-quarters struggle with an enormous serpentine creature, its massive fanged jaws lunging forward to dominate nearly the entire frame. The swirling composition practically pulls you into the chaos alongside Conan as he braces against those coiling, clawed limbs. With Doug Moench writing a tale titled "The Fang of Set," this 1982 issue promises the kind of mythic, monster-versus-hero confrontation that made Marvel's Conan line so compelling.
