The Savage Sword of Conan #212

The August 1993 issue of The Savage Sword of Conan delivers a cover by Julie Bell that pulses with raw energy — a muscular Conan, daggers in hand, launches a flying kick squarely into a towering, golden-armored insectoid creature whose massive clawed limbs dominate the foreground. The cover copy promises the conclusion of "The Blood of Bel" alongside a second tale, "Conan and the Gods of the Mountain," in which the Cimmerian battles the forces of a False God. It's a vivid, beautifully painted showcase for Bell's work, capturing the larger-than-life scale of Conan's world with impressive craft.
