Description

John Buscema has rightfully become identified with Conan, rendering more than 100 stories each for both the Conan comic book and the more “mature” Savage Sword of Conan magazine.

I’ve owned and traded many Buscema Conan pages over the years, and this splash remains one of my favorites. After a long fought series of adventures and battles, Conan is taking a break, and celebrating his victory.

Nothing wrong with that.

The story itself is an odd one. Michael Fleisher is the scribe, having come on board a just a few months earlier after Roy Thomas bolted for DC. Given the varying art styles of the story, the story length (46 pages) and the multiple inkers (Ernie Chan, Tom Palmer and Bob McLeod are all credited) it’s entirely possible it was originally destined to be a shorter story, and fleshed out when something else fell through.

If so, it’s a feat that John Buscema could pull off — while most others couldn’t even attempt it.

While "pretty" isn't a word that one tends to associate with art by Big John, this is a very pretty page, thanks in large part to the inks.

Looks like she's about to get stabbed by Conan's Savage Sword! ;)

'But for now, by Crom, life seems bountiful enough right where I am'. A very 'happy' page indeed!

I didn't read Conan regularly as a kid but this issue was given to me by my older brother and I loved it! Great story, great art, and I still think of it today when I think Conan...and I distinctly remember this great page, too! Congrats!
