Description
These pages came to me framed, and with no information as to what they are, or what their intended use was. After removing the frames and mattes, I discovered character names at the bottom of this page: Sieur Gerard and Michael de Bois.
Being the curious type, I scoured the web to try to unravel the mystery. After quite a while searching using combinations of these names, plus Conan, Robert E. Howard etc, I discovered that the characters (and scenes depicted on each page) are from a Cormac FitzGeoffrey story by Howard called "Hawks of Outremer."

So, these lovely pages are repurposed from that story to feature Conan instead of Cormac, the half-Norman, half-Gael Knight whose adventures were set during the Third Crusade.

Savage Sword of Conan #222 also featured an adaptation of "Hawks of Outremer", with Conan the Barbarian replacing Fitzgeoffrey as the main character, and the real-life locations swapped for those of the Hyborian Age.
