Description

We never got a Chaykin Conan cover during his 5 issue fill-in for Big John in the late ‘70s (issues #79-83). So this here does it for me. He really knocked this one out, Chan too. It’s hard to imagine how it was rejected. Unless of course it only fullfilled 2 of the 3 B’s—no babes! Bêlit and the slave-girl Neftha certainly spice up the published version.

Art from 1977 - 11x17.

I've to admit that the two girls add something to the whole scene :) But the big Conan figure on this unpublished page is absolutely top notch!

Beautiful; Unpublished pages sometimes surpass the published ones. This is one of them...
