The Savage Sword of Conan #234

A striking deep-blue palette dominates this 1995 Marvel issue, where a powerfully built, blue-skinned figure grapples fiercely with a mass of grotesque, reptilian creatures across a shadowy, otherworldly backdrop — while a woman is caught up in the chaos above. The cover blurb promises Conan confronting the Daughter of Erliki, setting the stage for the first chapter of "The Daughter of Raktavashi," with interior work from the celebrated team of Roy Thomas and John Buscema. Vince Evans delivers a hauntingly atmospheric painted cover that pulls you straight into the supernatural dangers of Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age.
