A cover by Mary Wilshire AND Kaluta? How awesome is that?!? And with interior art by Silvestri and Isherwood - it really should be an awesome lineup. Even with the huge masthead and heavy borders on the cover - the image itself is a thing of glory, which isn't something I get to say often about the blue bodysuit era. Sonja is almost never shown as an archer, so this is really stands out - and she's handling that bow like a champ, with the next arrow held in her bow hand ready to do a release and draw combination typical of horse archers. The cover just has so much going on, without feeling overwhelming (that's a Kaluta influence). It is hard to figure out the scene though. I think Sonja and Conan are standing atop a crypt, which has an effigy on top and is covered in burial treasure, and which is lit by HUGE candles on every side - that doesn't appear to be a trick of perspective making the candles appear larger than life - and the two of them are taking on some haunt in this crypt. At least that what I think I see.
Overall? Very cool - but I think most everything Kaluta does is very cool.
