The Savage Sword of Conan #44

Sep 1979 · Marvel · 1.00 USD
“The Star of Khorala”

In "The Star of Khorala," Red Sonja stands defiant amid a striking visual symphony of her own likeness—three heads and four full figures surrounding her, each captured in a different moment of readiness. Will Meugniot’s dynamic art brings the legendary warrior to life with bold, expressive lines, while Bob Larkin’s cover delivers a classic, eye-catching portrayal of her enduring presence in the Hyborian Age.
