Ernie Chan - 1988 Savage Sword of Conan

This is an 11" x 17" "Savage Sword of Conan" page by the sadly deceased Ernie Chan, signed by him in lower gith. I'd like to ask my fellow fans and collectors if they can help me pinpoint the issue

The copyright on the back is 1988 and the top left corner of the back has the number "35," which may be the issue's overall page-number including ads, or something else. The story page-number, in the lower right corner of the front, is 6. The dialog indicates the group is on its way to meet the Aquilonians, whose prince, whom they were escorting, was killed by a tiger.

With my thanks....
