The Savage Sword of Conan #208

The blood-drenched cover by George Pratt sets an appropriately savage tone for this April 1993 installment, depicting Conan mid-battle — sword raised high, surrounded by skulls and chaos against a striking crimson backdrop — as part two of "Conan and the Spider-God" continues with the story subtitled "The Sea of Death." Inside, Roy Thomas scripts and John Buscema pencils the Barbarian's return to Yezud, with inks by E. R. Cruz and lettering by Diana Albers. The issue also promises a Red Sonja feature and Conan graphic novel content, making it a well-rounded package for fans of Marvel's long-running black-and-white magazine.
