“On the Wings of Demons”

In "On the Wings of Demons," Conan aids a group of shipbuilders threatened by savage cat-men, proving once again his strength and cunning in the face of brutal foes. When Ossian is gravely injured protecting Conan from the deadly Shing Luu, the wounded warrior finds an unexpected path to redemption—using the fallen enemy’s wings to craft a device that could defy gravity itself. Written by Roy Thomas and Sandy Plunkett, with dynamic art by Tony DeZuniga and Sandy Plunkett, and a striking cover by Sandy Plunkett and PCR, this 1991 Marvel classic blends gritty adventure with daring invention.
