It was only later in life that I discovered how darn good John Buscema was. He loved his Conan work the best and especially that he inked himself. No surprises here, I love his Conan work and the stuff he inked himself too!

Behold the Conan Portfolio Plate which shows Conan tied up, a monster lizard about to chomp him and barbarians charging forward. I feel sorry for all of them. We all know that in the next 5 minutes, the monster is dead and so are the barbarians followed by much drinking and wenching!

Hail Big John!

I can recommend a great bar for wenching - have you ever been to Smith's?

Is wenching a verb or just something you made up?

I actually know what happened here. The lizard is a female and fancies Conan (as all the ladies do. Nothing sexier than an unwashed barbarian.) so she chews off his bindings, helps him kill the guys in the background and they settle down for a night of passionate love...A bit far fetched? He sleeps with anyone female in the comics.

Absolutely glorious, and well worth clicking on to see in the blow-up the extraordinary quality of the lines. And the composition is superb - the snaking tail of the lizard, the bloulder placement and the figures creeping up behind Conan. Perfect.
