Conan the Barbarian #125 Page 9

15" x 10" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Conan the Barbarian #125 Page 9 Original Art (Marvel, 1981). John Buscema and Bob McLeod.

Buscema's talent of representing emotion and action are strongly evident in this tense page. The dramatic narration really builds the scene! Conan's strength is not only in his muscle, but also in his mind. You can almost see the witches and Conan moving in each of the panels. The close-up of Conan's face in panel 4 is pure Buscema magic!
