The Savage Sword of Conan #91

This August 1983 issue of Marvel's black-and-white magazine series plunges Conan into a hellish, flame-lit forest setting that radiates dread from every corner of Michael Kaluta's striking painted cover. Conan rides hard on horseback through the darkness, locked in a savage struggle with a white-haired female warrior, while a skeletal armored figure looms ominously from the shadows above and ghostly combatants swirl through the chaos below. With interior art by John Buscema inked by Pablo Marcos and a story by Michael Fleisher titled "Forest of Fiends!", this issue promises the kind of brooding sword-and-sorcery atmosphere that made Savage Sword one of 1983's most compelling ongoing adventures.
