Description

I'm a huge Conan fan, usually by John Buscema, but this piece, published in 1987, is just ... awesome! I have included some of the painted detail as well. It's a large piece, 21.5" by 14".

Crom! That's magnificent. Smith's version of Conan is my favorite, better than even Frazetta and Buscema.
