The Savage Sword of Conan #131

Joe Jusko's painted cover for issue #131 captures Conan at his most ferocious — black hair whipping behind him, sword raised overhead, muscles straining as he battles a press of armored enemies whose spears jab at him from every angle. The chaos of clashing steel and fallen warriors fills every corner of the composition, making the Barbarian's raw defiance all the more striking. Inside, Charles Dixon scripts "Reavers of the Steppes" with art by Val Semeiks and inks by Walter Brogan — a promising creative lineup for any Hyborian adventure.
