That Fed-Ex guy is no friend of mine, or any of the others on the site. He never brings us anything. Not very friendly. Are you giving them a good rent deal on a room in your house?

I'm afraid I can't reveal my secrets - you might steal my Fed Ex guy away from me! :)

Pulp illustration goodness! It has so many levels of depth defined through the immense crosshatchng technique! Awesome to see the early interpretations of Conan were presented as opposed to the comics sword and sorcery genre.

This Conan art has a distinct style to his Doc Savage and Shadow pulp illustrations. The detail work provides a feel to the mystic aspects of the Conan legacy. Great pickup and addition to your spectacular collection.
