The Savage Sword of Conan #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMarvel's black-and-white magazine format gave The Savage Sword of Conan room to breathe in 1974, and this premiere issue arrives with a Boris Vallejo cover that makes an immediate statement: a massively muscled Conan, sword raised and bloodied, battles a horde of skeletal undead warriors alongside a fierce red-haired woman who fights at his side with shield and axe. The tagline "Sword vs. Sorcery in a World Beyond Time" perfectly captures the supernatural menace swarming across the painted battlefield, with skulls and fallen enemies piled beneath the two warriors' feet. Inside, Roy Thomas adapts Robert E. Howard with art by Barry Smith — two Conan epics that made this oversized format an exciting new home for the Cimmerian's adventures.
