Description

There is something about Conan which always has an appeal for me. Conan makes me think about the honest human striving versus the artificial. I really dig this piece because to me it graphically depicts trying to rise above, fighting all the scumbags who are trying to bring you down, and how life is often a battle. And who else but Barry Windsor-Smith could illustrate the brutalities of life in such a beautiful way. Anyhow, someone named Albert foolishly let me get this from his collection years back, thanks...

I remember how much you had to juggle your collection to pry this piece away from Albert years ago. Glad to see it's still in your custody. Great piece.

Hey, I didn't know you could do that! Can I borrow it after Steve? Oh, and what's the time limit? =)

A bargain at twice the price you paid for it. You're a visionary!

I love how there's so much ink on this page that the characters stand out even more. Truly a keeper

Ah, the good old days of art collecting, when a soft-spoken Florida lad could extract from a NY wheeler-dealer one of the greatest pieces of art in the hobby. Sweet memories! See you in the Spring, Marathon Man!
