Savage Sword of Conan 42 p45

What an impressive looking page. Congrats.

A well remembered page from the show as the quality on video couldn't capture all the finer qualities, but still showed that it was artistically superior compared to many of the other pieces.  Wenzel also had a nice run in Avengers, but found more success outside of comics.  So definitley a treat whenever we see his comics artwork.        

As a fan of Bary Windsor-Smith work, I always thought it was a gas to see other artists so inspired by his work that they chose to emulate his style as best they could. Tim Conrad was the one who employed the BWS style more often than anyone, but as we can see here, even David Wenzel got in on it too and did it brilliantly! It's funny, I first noticed Wenzel's work as a fill in artist in some 70's Marvel comics which I discovered as back issues during the early 80's, but then forgot about him until that prestige format adaptation of The Hobbit was published in the late 80's, which was also very impressively done. Congrats on this acquisition, man, it's a beaut!

NICE!

this is a beautiful piece and a easy pick of the best of 2022 on caf. congrats

This is one of those 'can't look, can't look away' pieces. Doubly compelling precisely because the horror of the scene can't be dispelled easily as a mere supernatural illusion.  I don't think there's anything more horrific than the reality of human atrocity. Dracula, the mummy, zombies all make me laugh.  But gas chambers, human sacrifice and the thought of dark web cannibals out there scare the living be-jesus out of me!

An incredibly powerful if utterly horrific piece.

It's only rumor, but I heard the envelope for the printer was mis-addressed and 3 members of the Comics Code Authority had to be treated at the scene after opening it.

Amazing detail, though.  Wow!
