King Conan #17

King Conan #17 drops readers into a scene of fierce, close-quarters combat: a dark-haired warrior leaps with a dagger raised high while a second figure on a rearing white horse struggles desperately to hold his ground, weapons clashing in a vivid display of raw, barbaric energy. John Buscema's self-inked cover captures the savage momentum Robert E. Howard's world demands, with bold linework that gives every muscle and blade a real sense of weight. Paired with the intriguing story title "A Tyrant in Amber," this 1983 Marvel issue promises plenty of the sword-swinging intrigue that made King Conan a worthy successor to the Conan the Barbarian series.
