Sword of Sorcery #2

DC's sword-and-sorcery anthology returns with issue #2, and the cover by Howard Chaykin and Bernie Wrightson sets the tone perfectly: a red-haired barbarian warrior stands atop a massive skull, twin blades raised, as a wild melee erupts around her — swordsmen, a spectral woman in flowing pink, and armored fighters clashing from every angle against a deep purple sky. With interior work from writer Denny O'Neil adapting Fritz Leiber and art by Howard Chaykin, "Revenge of the Skull of Jewels" promises exactly the kind of fierce, pulpy adventure the title "Tales of Fantastic Adventure!" proudly announces.
