The Savage Sword of Conan #213

Conan and Valeria surge forward together on this painted-style cover by Jim Hoston — the muscular Barbarian wielding a sword while the fierce, wild-haired Valeria draws her bow, both charging through dense jungle foliage against a stormy, volcanic sky. The banner across the top promises that "Conan defies the Gods of the Mountain and Valeria defies death," setting an appropriately epic tone for the third chapter of the "Gods of the Mountain" saga. Four tales of the Hyborian Age plus pin-ups and features make this September 1993 issue a satisfyingly packed entry in Marvel's long-running black-and-white magazine series.
