Savage Sword of Conan - #34 p11

Lair of the ice worm. From L. Sprague de Camp and Lin carter adaptation
1978
11 x 17 in

Conan and Ilga struggle to stay alive in a frozen landscape, while a greater danger looms. From the graphic novel adaptation of the short story "The Lair of the Ice Worm" by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter.

A beautiful crosshatching page, clearly representative of Alcala's style. It perfectly captures the harshness and bite of the blizzard, while the fire warms Conan and Ilga.

The inking of the first panel of Conan, between the snow and his tunic, is superb.
