Marvel Super Special #21

This 1982 Marvel Super Special presents the official comics adaptation of Conan the Barbarian, with a script from John Milius, Oliver Stone, and collaborators, brought to life on the interiors by John Buscema. Renato Casaro's painted cover sets a striking tone — a massively muscled Conan thrusts a sword triumphantly skyward against a smoldering red backdrop, while a fierce blonde warrior woman kneels at his side, her own blade drawn and ready. Rounding out the package are articles, interviews, and photos from the film, making this a rich companion piece to one of 1982's most talked-about adventure movies.
