Savage Sword of Conan #5

In "Zukala's Daughter," the Saracen warrior El Alemein—now aware of his true Frankish heritage—steps into the Crusader ranks, forging a path between worlds. When Saladin challenges King Richard the Lion-Hearted to single combat, El Alemein volunteers, proving his valor by besting the famed Muslim leader in battle. King Richard, impressed, knights him and grants him the title Lord O'Dare. The issue’s bold, dynamic artwork by Joe Maneely and striking cover by Barry Windsor-Smith bring this clash of cultures and destiny to life.
