I had the poster when I was a kid and I remember just staring at it and trying to pick out all of the details. It is truly an artistic tour de force by BWS.

Two things: 1). I think this is the best BWS Conan ever! 2). We need to see a photo of the original, not the print! Stunning aqcuisition!

Just kidding, this is freakin' amazing! Conan battling an army of the dead! So cool. I can't imagine the dedication it took to plan and execute something like this, there is not an errant stroke. A masterwork.

A wonderful work of art. I've loved this piece since seeing it reproduced thumbnail sized on ads in the back of old Savage Sword of Conan magazines... finally got the print a decade back, but still don't have wall space worthy of it. I hope you someday photograph the original - - I'd love to see if it shows traces of the blue pencils Barry often used... see if there are corrections, passages covered with white paint, then re-inked... all that good stuff... Congratulations on owning such an incredible drawing from one of comics and fantasy/romantic art's best.
