Description
Not many Conan pages penciled & inked by BWS and Frost Giant's Daughter is a classic story...at least that is my rationalization for purchasing this page at SDCC '11. This page has some of everything - Lots of Conan, a panel of battle action, the chase and Conan catching Ymir's daughter.

Published in Savage Tales 1 as page 8 and in Conan 16 as page 9 - and subsequently reprinted with minor modifications in the last two panels.

I feel the last two panels foreshadow his Gorblimey Press work.

May 2024 Adder: Through a FB thread, I noted the charcoal shading is a distinctive technique in this story - not sure if he used it elsewhere but is unusual and cool!

All you need to see is the expression on the girl's face to say classic BWS.

Epic BWS page.  It is perfect in every way and a high point in both BWS's career and comics in general.

You can tell that BWS - the ultra-fast learner - really put some time into that fifth panel. A goregous halted-action shot. I agree that his later work springboarded off of panels like this.

This is my favorite BWS story. I had an opportunity to buy a page---and blew it! Oh well, I could look at your beauty...
