The Destroyer is a 1971 painting by Frank Frazetta. Notwithstanding the prolific use of the word "Conan" that's been attached to Frazetta's work for many years, none of his paintings bear the "Conan" name.[2] The painting depicts Conan the Barbarian in the act of swinging an axe with dead warriors around him.
