King Conan #16

King Conan charges into the heart of battle on this striking 1983 Marvel cover, with the barbarian king astride a white horse, dual weapons raised high as armored warriors surge around him on all sides. Marc Silvestri's cover art crackles with kinetic energy — the chaos of clashing soldiers and billowing smoke perfectly captures the tagline "Mightiest Monarch of a Time-Lost Land!" Inside, Alan Zelenetz and artist Marc Silvestri bring "Blood of Aquilonia" to life, promising the kind of sword-and-sorcery spectacle that made this series such a compelling corner of the Marvel universe in 1983.
