Anybody know where this Sienkiewicz Conan cover first appeared? 0

Quick question.  I'm certain this cover would have been commissioned by Marvel US, not Marvel UK, but I have not been able to track down if it ever showed up on a US book.  The cover on #91 was from Savage Sword #102.  UK issue #93 has another Sienkiewicz cover as well that I can't trace, but I don't have a copy of that issue.

Anybody know where or even if this showed up in the US?

The only one I can see from the US run of Savage Sword that looks similar is issue #112

Savage Sword UK does not look familiar at all

Unfortunately, I'm not on twitter and for personal reasons refuse to join.  If somebody else asks I would love to hear the answer, though.

Thanks to everybody for their replies.

It's not on any Savage Sword of Conan, Marvels Conan the Barbarian run, King Conan or Conan the King. Wondering if maybe Dark Horse used it on any of theirs?

All that text on that cover just ruins a beautiful image. I wonder how cropped and edited it is. Doesn't looked balanced (compensating for the text, I assume.).

eBay and others. Be patient if you want one in good shape and at a good price. It’ll turn up. Some really good art pieces in there.
