The Savage Sword of Conan #132

Set against a brutal mountain snowscape, Joe Jusko's painted cover places Conan at the center of a ferocious clash — sword raised, red cape whipping behind him — as a massive, spiked-club-wielding brute descends on him from above while fur-clad companions and armored enemies press in from every side. The raw physicality Jusko brings to the scene in 1987 perfectly suits the promise of "Master of the Broadsword," the interior tale crafted by Larry Yakata with art by Gary Kwapisz and inks by Ernie Chan. This is Savage Sword at its wintry, hard-edged best — a compelling package for any fan of Robert E. Howard's Cimmerian warrior.
