Description

This is the very first original art piece I purchased in my life. It cost me 10 pounds at London's Forbidden Planet in July 1983. Decades later, I love this page just as much as the day I bought it.
There is a small mystery about it: it is done in wash but the printed page in Ka-Zar #9 does not look like wash art. Was the wash added after the page returned from the engraver's shop? Anyone who knows the answer, please drop me a line!

This page is awesome! I remember it vividly from my childhood. There was another page from this issue on comiclink recently, ridiculously priced by some comic art nazi. :(

Hello Jean Paul, not absolutely sure, but I think that probably this story was intended to be reprinted in some Black and white magazine like some were in the Savage Tales annual, but I didn't find it anywhere else than in the Ka-Zar book. You can see my John Buscema checklist in the web. So I think it was meant to be reprinted but was not. Last possibility, it was done for a black and white magazine like Savage Tales#12 but as the book was cancelled it was used in a comic book format and probably edited in some manner so the washed tones were not anymore there. Anyway great storytelling page by Big John and congratulations for all your collection !
