DescriptionA large-art Barry Windsor-Smith peak period page: is there anything above it?This story is the only one he did for Warren and that's probably why it's rather obscure in the Windsor-Smith canon. Still, it's the first indicator of marvels to come as it begins to percolate all the graphic, pre-Raphaelite influences that will push his art to unequalled grandeurs. Period-wise, this story appears in January 1971, same month as Conan 4 (the justly-acclaimed "Tower of the Elephant" story). But it's also the second-ever Winsdor-Smith story on which he gets to ink his own pencils (first time was a year before with his Conan try-out in Chamber of Darkness 4). And this is his first-ever Black & White story, with fantastic intricate brush lines and great use of Zipatone. All this, barely 3 months before the publication of Savage Tales 1 and the quantuum-leap of "The Frost Giant's Daughter"! You now see where I'm going: this spells masterpiece all over!!! And thanks also to Gardner Fox for a great myth-tinted story that gave Barry free rein to fully indulge in his own fantasies... Social/Sharing |

Nice pickup this is a great page from a fun story!Thanks Mark! I agree this quite an off-beat story by Warren's standards, but it's a nice vehicle for BWS to start experimenting. Incidentally, I had spotted this page at SDCC a few years ago, but had been unable to acquire it at the time. This time around, I didn't let it elude me!
