Kull, the Destroyer #14

From the creator of Conan comes Marvel's sword-and-sorcery king in full battle fury — Kull the Destroyer #14 (June 1974) promises "The Thing from the Black Belfry!" on a cover by Jim Starlin and Al Milgrom that crackles with raw energy. Kull, sword raised and teeth gritted, grapples desperately with a massive armored red giant while a fallen foe lies defeated beneath them, the cover copy taunting that slaying the Man-Ogre was only the beginning. It's a punishing, kinetic image that makes clear Kull's world never allows him a moment's rest.
