Conan the Barbarian #6, page 19 (Barry Windsor Smith)

BWS inked by Sal Buscema was very special. 

I loved this comic when it came out. Can not imagine how wonderful you must feel actually having this beauty of a page in your collection.

Congratulations and thanks for posting this!

Many thanks, Lee!  It is indeed wonderful to see the original.  And many congratulations on a wonderful collection too.

Baller.

A succinct - but no less accurate - description

Wow!  Smith/Buscema?!?  Eeshk - what an add, CAB!!  The vertical lining of the sorceress' cape in the top tier adds some really luscious BWS visual texture here (along with the hair, of course :) ), and it stands as another marvelous add to your gallery, CAB!  (How long have you been holding onto this one?)  Congrats, CAB!

Many thanks, Jason!  And another characteristic as well as masterful description!

Love the team of BWS & Sal Buscema. Beautiful page!

Many thanks, Rick!  Sal's inks on Conan were always spot-on!

Nice pick up!

Many thanks, Duke!  An many congrats on an awesome Silver Surfer Weapon Zero cover!

Barry Smith was already so far ahead of most of his contemporaries by the time he got to this point of the Conan series, it was a revelation. I can't speak for anyone else, but although I also don't specifically seek out Good Girl Art, I do appreciate it a lot, especially if the art contains your a Femme Fatale or two and this page certainly has them in spades. A wonderful example from this run!

Many thanks,  Rubén!  I always loved the wonderful detail in his artwork on Conan and although he had a number of inkers, Sal always did a wonderful job of inking his work.

Our eyes open up to see this page made from the stuff of golden dreams.

Many thanks, Marcus!  Of Golden Dreams and Dark Betrayal ... that was Shadizar for you.

Gorgeous page CAB!  Congrats!

Many thanks, Nick!   On a totally unrelated note, I really like your X-
Factor #47 artwork!

Thank you sir!

I've always preferred blondes myself 😅 Congrats on this awesome page and thanks for sharing!

Many thanks, Davide!  Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder!

Always had a spot for Jenna!!

Many thanks, Mark!  Conan did too - to his lasting regret!

Double Hyborian Babes Page!!! ...& really quite beautiful, especially in the upper tier. Barry coming into his own here.

Many thanks, Aaron!  And very true - all tastefully, and even beautifully, done.

Always watch your back in Shadizar!

Many thanks, Jimmy!  Well said - when even Conan can be snookered!

Wonderful BWS Conan page. This sixth issue was a real step up and not only because of the girls!...

Many thanks, Al!  Yes, it wasn't just the girls!  But they didn't hurt!

i definetely need a page like this in my collection! BWS and Salt at their finest in this run! Huge congrats!!!!!!!!

Dear Toni, many thanks for your very kind words!  Your collection itself, though, is fantastic in and of itself.

I just love Barry Windsor-Smith's work on Conan. There is something so beautiful about the way it's composed, the way the figures are drawn, the way the story unfolds. It's just the quintessential comic book, IMHO. Great page, by the way. It exemplifies all the things I love about BWS's work.

Many thanks, Bill!  I totally agree.  I think it helped that Robert E Howard's stories were also excellent in themselves, although BWS (and his inkers) were able to articulate this so well artistically.

Sal's inks on Barry Smith were always fantastic. That's a brilliant sequence, with such pleasing linework. Lovely page!

Many thanks, Paul!  Yes, although Sal is a great artist in his own right, he somehow "got" Barry's pencils on Conan.  Many congrats on a fantastic collection as well.
