DescriptionSize: 11x 17Year: 1978 Its truly surprising to me that Big John Buscema has become my favorite artist since I did not grow up on his work. It was something I discovered later and its oh so glorious. I love his Conan work and this piece has it all in spades. Big John inked it, there are rat monsters and Belit! Its glorious!

A late 70's era Conan cover that promised adventure and drama with John Buscema's dynamic action composition. The issues with Belit are always popular as many saw the spark it gave John Buscema when drawing the female form. In turn, the art for Conan also reached new highs with pure classical figurework.

Congrats Joshua. Probably one of, if not, the best Conan the Barbarian cover by Big John.

The hits keep coming! The rats may not survive the night, but Conan's battle with the plague will soon begin.

Not surprising to me. John's art can have that effect on people. Great pure cover with pencils & inks by this legendary Master.

John doing his favorite character at the peak of his career inking his own work. You're not going to get better than that. Congrats!

Great cover, and special to see Big John inking himself during that era as it happened rarely; but as can be seen in the gorgeous linework on this cover, I've always felt that he was one of his own best inkers. Congrats!

Fabulous Conan cover by the great John Buscema! It's interesting how John wasn't the first artist on Conan, but he's the artist most people remember when they think of Conan. This is a great example of his work on the title. This time, instead of battling a monstrous supernatural beastie, he's battling all these viscious swamp rats. Love how one rat is attacking him from behind while he's swinging his sword at another one. And it's allways nice to see Belit on the cover--She was one of John's great female leads! Stunning addition to your collection, congrats!
