The Savage Sword of Conan #169
In "Brothers of the Skull (A Hyborian Odyssey, epilogue)," King Conan returns to Aquilonia from the New World to find his kingdom fallen into ruin, its halls echoing with corruption and its throne claimed by a shadowy usurper who rules alongside a captive queen. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Mike Docherty, with inks by Ernie Chan and letters by Diana Albers, this 1990 tale captures the grim return of a king to a realm he once forged. The cover, by Ovi Hondru, depicts the moment with stark, brooding intensity.
