Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 #68
September, 1981

Cover Artist: Joe Jusko

This being the cover to the first comic I bought with my own money makes it extra special for me. When I began to collect comic art in the mid 90's this was my #1 want. Had seen it come and go for sale throughout the single digit 2000's without the means to justify the expense. Then it popped up on the Romitaman site in '12, and as most of you know that would take the time to read this, he touts his "fair time payments," and fair they were. The 13 year old left in me is really pleased. The cover has finally found a stable home for awhile!

Congratulations on particularly meaningful piece !!! It's also interesting to see how artists' styles change over time. And yes, Mike Burkey is true to his word re: "fair time payments".
