Conan the Barbarian issue 1 page 20 by Becky Cloonan

Conan seeing Belit for the first time on the Argos sea. I love this moment. As their lives intertwine, they become etched into one another with a love unlike any other.

"There is life beyond death, I know, and I know this, too, Conan of Cimmeria — my love is stronger than any death! I have lain in your arms, panting with the violence of our love; you have held and crushed and conquered me, drawing my soul to your lips with the fierceness of your bruising kisses. My heart is welded to your heart, my soul is part of your soul! Were I still in death and you fighting for your life I would come back from the abyss to aid you — aye, whether my spirit floated with the purple sails on the crystal sea of paradise, or writhed in the molten flames of hell! I am yours, and all the gods and all their eternities shall not sever us!"
