Owner's Description
"Angels from Hell!" I guess hell-angels aren't all that talky, since we don't have any word balloons. YAY! I already love this cover due to it being clean, and uncluttered. No extra words, no cluttered images - everything we need to know is right there in the image; Sonja is going to have to fight things that fly even though she can't fly herself. And she's outnumbered. Frank does a nice job - the purple sky with orange near where the horizon would be (based on the building spires) lets us know dusk has arrived, plus that we are airborne. In a total Sonja/Conan moment, she's going to stab the flyer and glide his corpse to the ground. You know - this cover is so good in its simplicity, there isn't that much to write about it. Coloring is great and makes Sonja visually jump off the page. I do have to admit that the monster carrying Sonja looks more like he's carrying his newlywed wife over the threshold than hauling her off to be a sacrifice - I can almost hear him "Quit squirming sweetie, you're going to make me drop you before I reach the bedroom"
Somewhere along the line, Sonja has ditched the silly curved dagger that Frank usually draws on her thigh for a larger, straight dagger with a round pommel. And she's going to go all stabby with it. I'm not exactly sure what she's doing with her left arm, other than keeping it out of the way (hey at least its not around his neck, right?) - but that right arm - that baby is all about the stab.
Overall - it's one of Frank's better covers in the run; and yeah, I totally would have blown 35 cents on this.
