Savage Sword of Conan #20 page 31 by John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala

Another great page by an amazing duo! Congrats! 

Thanks Drew - they did make a great pair - there's so much detail in these early pages.

Wonderful page, congratulations

Thanks for the comment - I first started reading the SSOC because of the artwork. I didn't get into the color series until much later.

Now that is a Conan page you want. A horde of bad guys, Conan standing his ground, then the body parts start flying. Very cool Buscema Conan page!

Thanks - I re-read the story last, The Slithering Shadow is great but my favourite is still Jewels of Gwahlur

Mind blowing greatness!!!

Congrats on another nice SSOC page!

A killer page, good catch. 

The Buscema/Alcala run  on SSoC was surely among the best penciller/inker pairings EVER; maybe THE best one, in how it showcased 2 artists' different stengths.  Buscema's strong storytelling underlaying Alcala's fine Franklin Booth-ian rendering often raised the art into the neighborhood of Classic IIlustration Art. Alcala's solo work often had the same elaborate inking, but the compositional power & fluidity wasn't there.

Congratulations on a fine acquisition!

Outstanding Conan page!

Lovely, textured, Alcala inks!

Don't bring short swords to a long sword fight.

This here is a rip-roaring action page of the highest caliber. Both artists are in top form. Buscema moves the action along perfectly, and Alcala added all the detail to the page that he was famous for and then some. Few times in this business have two artists been so different in their approach to art yet so very complimentary of each other.

A perfect Buscema/Alcala panel page ~ Congrats!
