Conan the Barbarian #19 (Marvel: 1972) | Hawks from the Sea | 28

Prepare for war on the high seas as Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #19, the thrilling 1972 classic, Hawks from the Sea!

This issue sees Conan caught in the middle of a holy war, sailing with Turanian forces under the shadow of the mysterious Living Tarim. When the barbarian’s temper ignites on deck, chaos erupts, setting the stage for a brutal siege on the city of Makkalet. As the battle rages, nine identical undead giants emerge, turning the tide of the fight with sorcery and steel. Can Conan’s wits and raw power uncover the secret to their destruction and save the day—or will his blood spill on foreign soil?

Steeven breaks down the explosive action, Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning return to the series, and the industry-defying “daring experiment” of publishing uninked pages. He also shares behind-the-scenes insights, including how the Comics Code Authority’s loosening grip allowed for new levels of grit and gore in Conan’s adventures.

Join us for an episode packed with epic battles, historical tidbits, and Steeven’s favorite moments, as we unravel one of Conan’s most dynamic tales! Tune in—before the undead giants come knocking on your door!

Conan the Barbarian #19: Hawks from the Sea by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, Dan Adkins, and John Costanza was published by Marvel Comics in July of 1972.
