The Savage Sword of Conan #68
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIssue #68 of Marvel's The Savage Sword of Conan arrives in September 1981 with a striking cover by Joe Jusko, depicting the muscular Cimmerian mid-combat in a cavernous, torch-lit ruin — sword in hand, squaring off against a dark-haired female warrior whose blade flashes in the foreground, while a blonde woman crouches tensely to his right and a third figure looms on the stairs above. The brooding stonework and atmospheric red glow make the scene feel genuinely dangerous, a perfect frame for Roy Thomas's script "Black Cloaks of Ophir," rendered inside by Ernie Chan.
