The night bends around him. Moon high, jungle alive, beasts clawing from the dark — and Conan answers with steel in both hands. This cover is pure savage momentum: the king caught mid-stride, hacking through monstrosities that thought the darkness would save them. It doesn’t.

Top corner box locks in the $1.00 cover price with September publication. The bold KING CONAN title dominates the top beneath the classic Marvel Comics Group banner, while the jungle scene explodes below — Conan wielding axe and blade at once, yellow-fanged creatures tearing upward from the earth. Full moon backdrop, dense foliage, and raw motion make this one a standout late-run King Conan jungle battle cover.

Silvestri brings speed and aggression to every line here — Conan feels in motion, not posed — while the creatures look feral, desperate, and doomed.
