Add an eerie, atmospheric Copper Age issue to your storefront with Conan the King #27, published by Marvel Comics in March 1985! Written by veteran fantasy scribe Don Kraar, with interior artwork by Marc Silvestri and inks by Geof Isherwood, this issue dives into dark sorcery, ritualistic curses, and royal conflict in Aquilonia.

The top-left corner features the classic Marvel corner box, while the bottom-left corner contains the newsstand barcode box.

The striking, highly detailed occult cover art—illustrated by acclaimed fantasy artist Michael Kaluta (signed Mw. Kaluta 84 in the lower-right margin)—depicts a priest in ceremonial robes performing a dark ritual, holding aloft a bizarre horned alien skull encircled by floating candles against a crimson sky backdrop.
