Description

This is the first of two consecutive pages that I acquired from "Worms of the Earth" by Robert E. Howard (adapted by Roy Thomas) and published by Marvel Comics in The Savage Sword of Conan December 1976. This story is the opening chapter in the saga of Bran Mak Morn as illustrated by Barry Smith and Tim Conrad. Barry Smith provided the pencils for the first seven or so pages and then walked away from the project, as I believe he was taking his leave from Marvel. Tim Conrad provided the inks, ink wash and airbrushed gray-tones for this incredible page! Lucky for me, both of my pages were penciled by Barry and finished by Tim. The combination of their talents created a dark and somber masterpiece, and after Barry's departure, Tim did a fantastic and seamless job of continuing the story on his own, as if nothing had happened, just incredible! I only wish these two men had gone on to work together for many more years.

The groundwork and solid foundation by BWS storytelling is incredibly compelling with a close up and scenes of both luxury and torture. Conrad enlivens it by his painting talent that makes it timeless.

A great page from a great story with two great talents. I wish I can come to some American Comic Con, I am chasing such pages and they rarely show up in auctions.

I remember seeing most (all?) of the originals for this story at SDCC a few years ago and thinking how beautiful the art was - congrats on these two pages!

Man, your collection is eye watering, much like the torture this poor guy suffers under Roman 'Justice.'
