Kull, the Conqueror #7

Titled "The Dwellers in the Depths," this March 1973 issue of Kull the Conqueror opens with a striking confrontation on a rocky shoreline, where a defiant Kull stands over the fallen body of a massive green lake creature, sword in hand, daring the monsters to keep coming. Charging toward him is a horde of armored skeletal warriors — shields raised, blades drawn — whose taunting speech bubble asks the chilling question: "How can you kill — what is already dead?" John Severin's cover art captures that sword-and-sorcery tension beautifully, balancing Kull's raw bravado against a genuinely eerie undead threat.
