The Savage Sword of Conan #218

The cover by Earl Norem sets a suitably ominous tone: Conan, axe raised and battle-ready in his armor, stands alongside a red-haired warrior woman brandishing a sword, while a massive, glowing spectral face looms from the darkness above them — a reminder that this issue promises "The Magical Conclusion to Conan and the Sorcerer." Inside, Roy Thomas scripts "When Turns the Wheel of Swords," brought to life by the artistic team of E. R. Cruz and inker Mike Docherty, with lettering by John Costanza. There's also a bonus tale, "The Return of the Barbarian," making this 1994 installment a satisfying double dose of Hyborian adventure.
